Overtime Pay Rules
In Ontario, employees are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 44 in a week. Overtime is calculated at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.
Overtime Calculation
Overtime Pay = (Hourly Rate × 1.5) × (Hours Worked - 44)

Payroll Deductions
Employers must deduct certain amounts from employee paychecks, including Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI).
Deduction Formulas
CPP = (Hourly Rate × Hours Worked) × 0.0525 (5.25%)
EI = (Hourly Rate × Hours Worked) × 0.0168 (1.68%)
Deduction Examples
| Gross Pay | CPP | EI | Net Pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| $800.00 | $42.00 | $13.44 | $744.56 |
| $1,200.00 | $63.00 | $20.16 | $1,116.84 |
Example Calculation
Let's calculate the statutory pay for an employee who works 50 hours at $15.20 per hour in the retail industry.
- Regular pay for 44 hours: $15.20 × 44 = $668.80
- Overtime pay for 6 hours: ($15.20 × 1.5) × 6 = $138.00
- Gross pay: $668.80 + $138.00 = $806.80
- CPP deduction: $806.80 × 0.0525 = $42.38
- EI deduction: $806.80 × 0.0168 = $13.52
- Net pay: $806.80 - $42.38 - $13.52 = $750.90
Final Result
For 50 hours at $15.20/hour, the employee's net pay is $750.90.
