What are Annualised Hours?

Annualised Hours are an effective way to remove overtime and increase flexible working time. It is a system that many industries have adopted as an alternative to traditional methods where employees are paid hourly, weekly or monthly.

In simple terms, annualised hours system calculates employees’ hours based on a whole year, rather than monthly or weekly. It is an arrangement where an employee works a specific number of hours a year, which can vary from month to month or even week to week.

Annualised Hours Formula

No. of weeks * No. of hours per week = Annual Hours

EXAMPLE

Typically, annualised hours are based on a 35-40 hour week. For example, a person working a 39-hour week, with annual leave of 5 weeks and 1.8 weeks of public holidays, equals 45.38 working weeks.

Annual Hours = 45.38 weeks x 39 h/per week = 1,770 h
