Economy 52,910 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Is the maximum hours week a maximum on what they can demand if u don't agree or can u choose to work more if u want? I worked overtime before when I was cash strapped and I wouldn't have liked that restriction if it was an outright ban Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas with this bill they can force a worker to work more than 48 hours with no negotiations Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only met 1 person in my life that worked over 60 hours and he wasn't forced to he wanted to to make more money. How many companies actually ever demand that????

That's what I wanted to figure out cuz the way it was worded wasn't fully clear to me Where I live overtime is after 44 hours. I'm not sure if employees can demand it or not tho But in Canada these laws are not National they vary by Province Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
