Overtime work is work for more than 8 hours per day or work for more than 40 hours per week.

If, however, an employee is employed in an equivalent working time system, overtime work is work:

• for more than 8 hours a day – if, on a given day, the employee is to work for 8 hours or less, in accordance with the working time schedule applicable to them; or
• work beyond the extended time (more than 8 hours) of the daily working time resulting from the working time schedule of the employee; or
• work for more than 40 hours per week on average in a reference period.
