Malaysia OT Policies: Automatic OT4 Calculations

JustLogin system supports Malaysia's latest overtime compliance requirements, including automatic calculation of OT4 for Malaysian clients using the Attendance module, ensuring ongoing compliance with the latest regulations.

 

What is OT4?

OT4 refers to the total hours worked beyond 8 hours on a Public Holiday. This category ensures that employees are compensated fairly for their extended hours on such days, in line with Malaysian labour laws.

To help clarify how OT categories differ, here’s an overview:

Overtime Type Overtime Multiplier Description
OT 1 1 Applicable for working on a off day / rest day within normal work hours
OT 2 1.5 Applicable for working beyond normal work hours on a regular workday
OT 3 2

Applicable for: 

1. Working on a Rest Day beyond normal work hours. 

2. Working on a Public Holiday within normal work hours (up to 8 hours)

OT 4 3 Applicable for working beyond 8 hours on a Public Holiday. 

 

Normal work hours refer to the first 8 hours of work, even on Public Holidays. Any time worked beyond these 8 hours falls under OT4.

Please note that this feature currently supports configurations using End Time and Standard Time for overtime policy calculations.

Example Scenario

To better understand how OT4 works, consider the following scenario:

A staff member works on a Public Holiday.

  1. The first 8 hours will be calculated under OT3 (normal hours on a Public Holiday).
  2. Any additional hours beyond 8 hours will automatically be calculated as OT4 (extended hours on a Public Holiday).

This helps ensure your company stays compliant with Malaysian labor laws while simplifying the payroll process.
