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

50 hours $660.00 $227.50 $887.50

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.

  1. Regular pay for 44 hours: $15.20 × 44 = $668.80
  2. Overtime pay for 6 hours: ($15.20 × 1.5) × 6 = $138.00
  3. Gross pay: $668.80 + $138.00 = $806.80
  4. CPP deduction: $806.80 × 0.0525 = $42.38
  5. EI deduction: $806.80 × 0.0168 = $13.52
  6. 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.
