What's the maximum overtime allowed?

The Labor Act 2074 caps overtime at 20 hours per week. Working more is a labour-law violation and your employer may not be able to compensate it legally.

Why 26 days per month?

Nepal's standard payroll convention assumes 26 working days (one off per week). Dividing monthly basic by 26 × 8 gives the hourly rate used for OT computation.

Does overtime count for SSF/PF?

Typically no — SSF/PF contributions are based on basic salary, not overtime. Confirm with your HR, as practice varies.
