The lives of workers who work more than five working days in a work week must work overtime equal to one and a half times the employee`s standard rate of pay for hours worked up to nine hours including the sixth (6th) and seventh (7th) working days and twice the employee`s standard rate of pay for all hours worked that worked more than nine hours on the sixth ( 6th) and seventh (7th) working days, be paid. To get this average, add up your hours over 17 weeks and divide them by 102 days. This imagines that each week has 6 days instead of 7 because you have a legal right to 1 day a week where you do no work.

Step 2: Add up the number of days you could have worked, minus the rest days You may need to calculate the number of hours you work if: 6.4 The total number of hours worked over a 7-day period cannot exceed 60 hours unless this is included in clause 6.5 below. * International standards recommend the gradual reduction of normal working time, if any, to 40 hours per week, without reducing workers` wages, if hours are reduced They should not count unpaid overtime you work without being asked, for example.

In these cases, the 60-hour limit should apply. It should be noted that this limit includes all overtime that must be voluntary and used in accordance with the Basic Code. Samantha worked 40 hours per week, plus 12 hours of overtime per week for the first 10 weeks of the 17-week reference period.

Where available, they should be followed to determine this issue. In the absence of relevant legislation, this provision should be interpreted in the light of the fact that it is intended to ensure that agreements with organisations representing a small number of workers do not remove the protection of the entire workforce. It should not be used to undermine genuine collective agreements. If you work in the same place every day, you can`t count your normal commute time between home and work.
