Latvia Overtime Pay Calculator (Virsstundas)
Calculate overtime pay in Latvia (virsstundas): at least 100% extra on the hourly rate for overtime and for work on public holidays, from your monthly salary.
Overtime needs your written consent and may not exceed 8 hours on average per 7 days over a period of up to 4 months. People under 18 may not work overtime. Instead of the premium the employer can give paid time off, if agreed.
What it does
Under section 68 of the Latvian Labour Law (Darba likums) overtime and work on a public holiday are paid with a premium of at least 100% of the hourly or daily rate. A collective agreement or the contract can set a higher premium, and a sectoral general agreement that raises the minimum wage by at least 50% can lower it to 50%.
