How does overtime pay work in Grenada?

Overtime pay multipliers

Sector variation

Grenada sets standard working hours and overtime thresholds through sector-specific minimum wage orders rather than a single universal rule. Before applying an overtime policy, confirm the applicable order for the employee's sector, since the point at which overtime begins can differ between, for example, retail, hospitality, and office-based roles.

Recordkeeping

Employers should maintain clear time records showing regular hours, overtime hours, and any Sunday or holiday work. These records are the basis for both payroll calculation and the resolution of any wage dispute.

What counts as overtime in Grenada?

Overtime is time worked beyond the standard hours that apply to that employee's role. Because standard hours are set by sector-specific wage orders rather than a single national rule, the threshold should be confirmed against the order covering the role.

Is Sunday work paid differently from weekday overtime in Grenada?

Yes. Weekday overtime is generally paid at time-and-a-half, while work performed on a Sunday or public holiday generally attracts double pay.
