This is the amount over and above the normal hourly rate that employees are paid for
overtime hours worked. It is common to be paid an enhanced rate for any overtime
hours worked, for example, an individual may be paid \u00a320 per hour and any overtime
hours worked can be paid at time and a half rate, this means that the person will get
\u00a330 per hour for the additional hours worked over and above the contract hours. In
this case, the overtime premium is \u00a310 on each additional hour worked over the
contract hours.
