Hello there!
I've recently acquired a new full time job under a 38-hour employment contract - with a reasonable overtime clause. I am a little confused as to what this entails. I have been advised by my employer that I should be working and 8-hour day - 40 hours a week to account for 'reasonable overtime' as my standard day - regardless of workload.
However, my understanding of the requirement of reasonable overtime was to work a standard 7.6 hours per day and to occasional weeks of additional hours during times of high workloads. If anyone has any clear fact sheet re: reasonable overtime under employment law, I'd greatly appreciate it.
