Overtime Rules in Morocco

Not every threshold on this page is fixed by national law in Morocco. The figures above are what the statute sets; where one is marked as not set nationally, the point at which overtime begins, or the rate it is paid at, comes from the employment contract, the collective agreement or sector rules instead.

An empty figure is information rather than an omission. Read the source linked below before applying any of these numbers to a specific contract in Morocco.

No maximum weekly hours figure is listed for Morocco: the statute cited below does not set one as a weekly ceiling. Daily limits, annual overtime caps and minimum rest periods may still apply, so read the source before planning long weeks.

No statutory rest break with a fixed hours threshold is recorded for Morocco in the source cited below. Break entitlements may still come from the collective agreement or from sector rules. Either way, unpaid breaks are excluded from paid hours, which is how the hours calculator treats the break field by default.

Some hours are priced by the kind of day they fall on rather than by how many hours were worked. The rates below are statutory minimums in Morocco, and an agreement may set more. The calculator applies the daily and weekly thresholds above, not these: it cannot know which day of your week was a rest day or a holiday, so apply them yourself.

Work on a weekly rest day is paid at not less than 1.5× the ordinary hourly rate.

Select Morocco in the hours calculator or the timesheet and these thresholds and the 1.25× multiplier are applied to your week automatically. Overtime hours are shown on their own line rather than folded into the total, so the figure can be checked against the statute.
