The working hours limit according to Iran's labor law
According to Iran's labor law, normal working hours 8 hours a day and 44 hours a week is This means that the standard weekly schedule (eg Saturday to Wednesday full time and Thursday part time) should not exceed 44 hours in total; Every working hour in excess of this ceiling, overtime is considered For hard and harmful work, the ceiling is lower: 6 hours a day and 36 hours a week; Because burnout occurs faster in these jobs and the law provides more protection.
Two basic concepts should be separated. duty hours, is the minimum time commitment of the individual in the period (eg months) to be covered. overtime overtime hours and work deficit The hours are less than that. At the end of each period, each person's actual performance should be measured by these three numbers: how much was owed, how much was added, and how much was recorded as a deficit. When these numbers are registered and visible, the legal debate will return to the number. For the treatment staff whose duty limit is subject to the Law of Productivity Promotion, article Nurses shift see
Overtime formula with an extraordinary 40%
According to the labor law, to every hour of overtime 40% extra on the normal hourly wage is awarded; That is:
Wage for each hour of overtime = Wage for one normal hour x 1.4
Educational example: if a person's normal hourly wage is 100 thousand tomans, each overtime hour is calculated as 140 thousand tomans. (The numbers are just to understand the formula.)
Important note for managers: Overtime must be done Ceiling and license have Overtime without a ceiling makes both the cost unpredictable and leads to wear and tear and quality loss. The correct rule is that the need for overtime work should be predicted and recorded in advance, the monthly limit of each person should be specified, and payment should be made based on the recorded work; No guesswork or verbal agreement.

third, Friday work: Friday is a weekly holiday and work on this day is considered overtime; It means that it is subject to the same 40 percent. Practical tip: In shift schedules where Friday is the normal working day of the cycle, it should be clear in advance what the situation is on Friday so that there are no differences at the end of the month. General rule: any rule written and not announced in advance, the end of the month will not be interpreted in favor of anyone; Write and publish.
Accurate recording of performance; From memory to document
Even the most detailed rules are ineffective without registration. The operation registration system must have three features: being daily (registration of the same day, not the end of the month), integrity (shift, leave, transfer and overtime in one place) and Being visible to the individual (so that the discrepancy can be seen soon). The memory of the end of the month is not reliable; The daily document is reliable.

For this reason, it should be clear in the schedule and contract how much is the daily rest period and whether the work component is calculated or not; Ambiguity in this small point becomes a big difference on the scale of months and years.
