How it is calculated

  • Hourly pay = daily pay ÷ scheduled hours per day, weekly pay ÷ (scheduled hours + weekly holiday hours), or monthly pay ÷ monthly paid hours (Labor Standards Act Enforcement Decree art. 6(2), Minimum Wage Act Enforcement Decree art. 5(1)). Yearly pay is monthly pay × 12.
  • Scheduled hours are capped at 8 a day and 40 a week (Labor Standards Act art. 50). Hours beyond that are overtime, paid at 1.5 times with 5 or more employees (art. 56(1)).
  • Weekly holiday hours = scheduled weekly hours ÷ 5 (8 hours for a 40 hour week), only when scheduled hours are 15 or more a week (art. 18(3), art. 55(1)).
  • Monthly paid hours = (scheduled + weekly holiday hours) × 365 ÷ 7 ÷ 12, rounded to the nearest hour (209 hours for a 40 hour week, as the Ministry of Employment and Labor uses).
  • Premiums with 5 or more employees: overtime 1.5 times, night work plus 0.5, holiday work 1.5 times up to 8 hours and 2 times beyond (art. 56). With 4 or fewer, hours are paid at 1 times.
  • No rule lets an employer cut pay by 10% for probation; the 90% rate only lowers the minimum wage floor. Tax and social insurance are not deducted here.
