What to do if overtime pay is not given or is given less? Employees who work overtime on statutory holidays such as National Day are entitled to double or triple pay, but some employers deduct from this overtime compensation. The Workers’ Daily provided the answer: In such situations, workers should, on the one hand, keep good evidence of overtime work, and on the other hand, they can call the hotline of the labor supervision department at 12333, the hotline of the judicial department at 12348, or the hotline of trade union organizations at 12351 to seek protection of their rights. In case of disputes over the payment of overtime wages, one can file a complaint with the local labor dispute arbitration committee, requesting that the employer be ordered to make the payments. Guan Guan wants to say: They win the lawsuit, but lose their jobs; workers end up in a difficult situation. Unless one wants to ruin relations, it’s better to swallow one’s anger! Has there been any instance of overtime pay being withheld around you? Has anyone resorted to legal means to protect their rights?
In fact, there are many ways in which employers can handle this: for example, they can change the basis for calculating overtime pay to a portion of the salary, set a figure that is much lower than the standard, such as 30–50–60 yuan, or decide not to provide any compensation for holidays. If a lawsuit is filed, it will indeed be very difficult.
Employees once complained that they were paid 20 yuan for each hour of overtime, while a fee of 100 yuan was deducted for each hour of leave taken. The HR department said that overtime pay is calculated based on the basic salary, whereas leave takes away a portion of the total salary.
I’ve encountered that situation where two yuan is deducted for being one minute late； Working beyond one hour after hours does not count as overtime.
Hehe, this requires calculating the total amount. After comprehensive evaluation and trade-offs, power was secured at the cost of job rights. Such risks are simultaneous.
I’m speechless when it comes to this. . . Our salary consists of a basic wage, allowances, and performance-based pay. When workers filed lawsuits, the term \"performance-based pay\" was changed to \"overtime pay\". To appease them, the overtime pay for front-line workers is calculated based on the hours worked and holidays, while the overtime pay for non-front-line workers is still determined by performance. Sometimes, I earn more money working 8 hours than working 32 hours, and there is a large variation in earnings, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan. That is, front-line workers who dare to protest get paid, while those who are not part of the front line and are unwilling to confront the company end up being exploited by it.
Talking about this is painful. . . The company doesn’t pay much these days; for working an extra day during the Mid-Autumn Festival in September, they only gave a little over 120. . .
Things as detailed as how much overtime pay is – several times the regular salary – are all taken into account; then, **what about** the way in which the salary itself should be calculated? **Hasn’t there been any explanation given for that?** .
Our company doesn’t provide it for those at the management level and above. However, the holiday notice states that all employees **are not allowed to exchange their holidays for other days; they will receive triple pay instead.** Here, the salary is calculated based on the total amount, so a triple amount would indeed be quite high. I think if we insist on getting what’s owed and push the company, we can definitely get that overtime pay, but usually we don’t make a fuss if we continue working, unless there’s a conflict. . **If I work overtime on holidays, I can earn over a thousand per day; it’s a shame just to think about it. .
The salary is 1940; everything else is overtime pay. If you don’t work overtime, that amount will be deducted directly
I once did the math: working overtime for the seven days of National Day is equivalent to earning eight days’ worth of salary. Should I work overtime or not?
