Seafarers’ Entitlement to Overtime Pay | March 24, 2025
A seafarer has a guaranteed right to overtime pay but the entitlement to benefit must first be established. Thus, for a seafarer to be entitled to overtime pay, he must present proof that he actually performed overtime work while onboard.
Jurisprudence establishes the proper standard for determining whether seafarers are entitled to overtime pay. The correct criterion in determining whether or not sailors are entitled to overtime pay is not, therefore, whether they were on board and cannot leave ship beyond the regular eight working hours a day, but whether they actually rendered service in excess of said number of hours.
