extra.
Hours of work refers to the period during which an employee is
expected to carry out the duties assigned to him/her by the
employer. It does not include any intervals allowed for rest, tea
break and meals.
An employee shall not be required under his/her contract of service
to work more than eight hours in a day or 44 hours in a week. Where
the employee is required to work not more than five days a week,
the limit of eight hours per day may be exceeded but he/she shall
not be required to work more than nine hours per day or 44 hours in
one week.
If by agreement under the contract of service, the number of hours
worked in every alternate week is less than 44 hours, the limit of
44 hours in one week may be exceeded in the other week, subject to
a maximum of 48 hours in one week or of 88 hours in any continuous
period of two weeks. All work in excess of the above hours shall be
considered as overtime work and the employee must be paid at the
rate of not less than 1.5 times his/her hourly basic rate of
pay
