Your statutory daily rate of pay is RM76.92.
Under Section 60I of the [Malaysian Employment Act 1955](https://www.ajobthing.com/resources/blog/salary-calculation-a-guide-to-pay-rates-in-malaysia), the standard calculation for a monthly-paid employee working a 6-day workweek is your monthly basic salary divided by 26 days. [1, 2]
## Breakdown of the Calculation
*
* Basic monthly salary: RM2,000
* Statutory monthly divisor: 26 days
* Formula: RM2,000 ÷ 26 = RM76.92 per day [1, 2]
*
## Important Legal Considerations
*
* Exclusion of allowance: Your RM150 petrol allowance is excluded from this daily rate calculation because the law bases the ordinary rate of pay strictly on your core basic wage. [3]
* Shift variations: Your weekly rotating shift schedule does not change this fixed daily rate formula. [4]
* Overtime implications: Working 9 hours per day for 6 days totalizes 54 hours a week. Because the statutory limit under the Employment Act is 45 hours per week (and a maximum of 8 normal hours per day for a 6-day week), your 9th hour each day should legally be compensated as [overtime pay](https://www.payrollpanda.my/overtime-calculator/) at a minimum rate of 1.5 times your hourly rate. [2, 5, 6]
