How it works

Article 54 pays each overtime hour at the wage the worker is entitled to for it plus at least twenty-five per cent for daytime hours and fifty per cent for night hours, and Article 1(12) defines night as the period between seven in the evening and seven in the morning - a much longer night than Qatar's or Oman's. Because the article speaks of the wage the worker is entitled to, not the basic wage, the widget works on the monthly wage including allowances. Work on the weekly rest day (Friday by default, Article 57) or on an official holiday (Article 64) earns the day's wage plus an extra one hundred and fifty per cent, or a substitute day if the worker prefers. Actual hours may not exceed ten a day. The Law has no hourly divisor, so 240 hours (thirty days of eight hours) is used and can be changed - some employers use twenty-six days.

Calculation method

  • Hourly = monthly wage / divisor (240, editable)
  • Day x 1.25; night (19:00-07:00) x 1.50; rest day or holiday x 2.50

Worked examples

Ten daytime hours

Inputs: Wage BHD 480; divisor 240

Result: BHD 25.000

Night and rest day

Inputs: 4 night + 8 rest-day hours on BHD 480

Result: BHD 52.000

A calculation aid, not legal advice.

Limitations

  • The hourly divisor is not set by law.
  • Workers excluded by Article 56 follow a ministerial resolution.
  • Holiday dates change each year by Cabinet decision.

Questions

How is overtime paid in Bahrain?

The hour's wage plus at least 25% for daytime overtime and 50% for night overtime (Labour Law Article 54).

What counts as night work in Bahrain?

Any hour between 7 pm and 7 am - Article 1(12) defines night that way, so an evening shift that starts at 7 pm is night work from its first hour.

What do I get for working on a public holiday in Bahrain?

The day's wage plus an extra 150%, or a substitute day off at your choice (Article 64).

Which workers are outside the overtime hours rules?

Article 56 excludes the employer's authorised agents, preparatory and supplementary workers, guards and cleaners from the daily and weekly limits under a ministerial resolution, but their overtime pay can never fall below the Article 54 rates.
