How is overtime regulated in Singapore?

In Singapore, overtime compensation is governed by strict regulations to ensure fair treatment of employees.

For any work beyond normal working hours, employees are entitled to 1.5 times their hourly basic rate of pay. While the general cap for overtime is set at 72 hours per month, any exceptions to this rule require specific approval to safeguard worker well-being.

This system is designed to balance the operational needs of employers with the health and safety of employees, emphasizing the importance of fair labor practices.
