Overtime | What it is, how it works, who it is applicable to & payment of overtime

In this video I unpack Section 10 of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act: OVERTIME. The video starts with an explanation of who overtime is applicable to and who is not entitled to the overtime benefits stipulated in Section 10. Then I detail exactly what overtime is and the common misapplication of it. This is followed by a discussion, with an example of how overtime can be paid and the three different options. I continuously remind you that overtime is by agreement and I discuss all the different variations that can be agreed to, including the maximum number of overtime hour an employee can work in a week. The video ends with a final explanation of the lesser know clause that says that an overtime agreement lapses after 12 months (see video for specifics on this).
