Overtime

Some businesses only calculate overtime after filling up a week’s agreed-upon hours instead of the hours that exceed the ordinary hours per day. Please note that the Sectoral Determination 13 (SD13) defines overtime as the time that the agri-worker works during a day or in a week in excess of ordinary hours of work.

It is a common occurrence that employers only allow overtime to be paid once an entire week’s hours are completed, regardless of whether the ordinary hours per day are exceeded.
