Working hours
In one sentenceThe number of hours the employee actually works per day or week under the contract and the business's work rules. Anything above them is treated as overtime with extra pay.
Simply put
The Saudi Labor Law sets a maximum for working hours per day and per week, with fewer hours in Ramadan for Muslims, and rest breaks. Check the Saudi Labor Law and its regulations for the details.
For the accountant: the normal working hours are the basis for calculating the hourly wage, and every hour above them is overtime paid at the hourly wage + 50% of the basic hourly wage (Article 107 of the Saudi Labor Law).
Worked example
A store cashier normally works 8 hours a day (an assumption for illustration), and the fingerprint record shows he worked 10 hours on a stocktaking day.
