Careers Corner: Company remuneration structures and policies for working overtime and on a public holiday.

What are the normal working hours in a week? According to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), the maximum normal working time allowed is 45 hours weekly. This is nine hours per day (excluding a lunch break) if the employee works a five-day week, and eight hours per day (excluding a lunch break) if the employee works more than 5 days per week. This does not mean that the employee must work 45 hours per week normal time. The amount of normal time worked is a matter of contractual agreement between employer and employee. Some employers work a 40-hour week, and so on. <a href="https://kaya959.co.za">Kaya 959</a>
