Employment in Ethiopia

1. Normal hours and overtime

Employment legislation in Ethiopia is largely laid out in Labour Proclamation No. 42/1993. Normal
working hours may not exceed eight hours a day or 48 hours per week. Overtime rules are covered in
Section 68 of the Proclamation and are summarised in the table below:

Hours of work

Rate of overtime payment

Overtime between 6am – 10pm (day work) 1.25 multiplied by ordinary hourly rate

Overtime between 10pm -6am (night work) 1.50 multiplied by ordinary hourly rate

Overtime on a weekly rest day 2.00 multiplied by ordinary hourly rate

Overtime on a public holiday 2.50 multiplied by ordinary hourly rate

Overtime is normally paid at the same time as normal salaries.
