Work hours don\u2019t always end when the regular shift is over. During busy periods or tight deadlines, employees may need to stay longer to finish important tasks. When that happens, the extra time is usually compensated through overtime pay.<\/p>\n

Overtime pay ensures fair compensation for staff<\/a> for the additional hours they work. It helps recognize the extra effort employees put into supporting business operations, especially during demanding periods.<\/p>\n
