In some companies, the calculation of overtime is set up for remuneration needs based on the hourly rate per employee, or even with the objective of recovering hours.

In an ordinary case of calculating increased overtime, the system is taking into account of the hourly volume which serves as the basis of calculation.
For example, the hours worked between 35 hours and 43 hours can be subject to a 25% increase, and beyond 43 hours the increase can be 50%.
Here is a simulation of the calculations for a 35 hour weekly contract :
(1) Hours declared 39 hours
> Overtime for Threshold-1 = 39h - 35h = 4 hours
> Increased overtime = 4h * 25/100 = 1 hour
> Total overtime = 4h + 1h = 5 hours
(2) Hours declared 45 hours
> Overtime Threshold-1 = 43h - 35h = 8 hours
> Overtime Threshold-2 = 45h - 43d = 2 hours
The employee worked 10 hours of overtime gross before premium
> Increased overtime = (8h * 25/100) + (2h * 50/100) = (2) + (1) = 3 hours
> Total overtime = 10h + 3h = 13 hours
NOTE: The increase rates vary by company or by category of employees, it depends on your collective agreement.
