First, as the picture shows, Pegatron’s pay stubs explicitly indicate when the overtime hours are worked, categorized as: regular workdays, weekends, or holidays, and how much the overtime pays are for each category.
Then, according to Chinese labor law, we can get the rates for different categories of overtime, as shown below:
| Overtime Rates of Pegatron Workers by Category |
| Overtime Categories | Overtime Rates |
| Regular overtime | 1.5*regular rate | 17.4RMB/hour (2.69USD/hour) |
| Weekend overtime | 2*regular rate | 23.2RMB/hour (3.59USD/hour) |
| Holiday overtime | 3*regular rate | 34.8RMB/hour (5.38USD/hour) |
Take the pay stub above for example, the worker’s overtime hours in October 2015 was:
Total overtime hours= regular overtime pay/1.5*regular rate + weekend overtime pay/2*regular rate + holiday overtime pay/3*regular rate
= 565.95/17.4+1427.93/23.2+278.62/34.8
= 32.53+61.55+8.00
= 102.08 (hours)
