In the Employment Act the formula for over time are as follow:

1. OT during normal working days (salary/26/8) x 1.5 per hour.

2. OT on rest days (salary/26/8) x 2 per hour.

3. OT on holidays (salary/26/8) x 3 per hour.

You just compare whether the company's rates is enough or not. If not, try to ask for more comparable to what is the EA although you are covered by the Act.
