Yes. You're entitled to statutory overtime pay only if you fall under Part IV of the Employment Act, which covers workmen earning up to S$4,500 a month and non-workmen earning up to S$2,600 a month; managers and executives are excluded regardless of salary. Covered employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their hourly basic rate for hours worked beyond 44 hours a week, subject to a 72-hour monthly cap. If you earn above these thresholds, any overtime pay depends entirely on what your employment contract provides.
