1. What is MOM OT Calculator?

The MOM (Ministry of Manpower) OT Calculator calculates overtime pay according to Singapore's employment regulations. It computes the overtime compensation based on the hourly basic rate and number of overtime hours worked.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the MOM OT formula:

Where:

• \( Hourly\ Basic\ Rate \) — Employee's basic hourly wage rate in SGD
• \( 1.5 \) — Overtime multiplier as per MOM regulations
• \( OT\ Hours \) — Number of overtime hours worked

Explanation: The formula calculates overtime pay at 1.5 times the employee's basic hourly rate for each overtime hour worked, in compliance with Singapore's Employment Act.

3. Importance of OT Calculation

Details: Accurate overtime calculation ensures compliance with Singapore's labor laws, prevents underpayment disputes, and maintains fair compensation practices for employees working beyond normal hours.
