OVERTIME
Definition
Overtime hours are defined as any hours worked by an associate at the
Company’s request and in excess of the Standard Shift Hours.
Level of Payment
The minimum qualifying period is one completed hour and all payments are in multiples of completed
hours.
Where an associate works through midnight of one holiday into another holiday all hours
worked after midnight will be paid at double time.
Where an associate's rest day falls on a statutory holiday, then as the associate is not working
on the day of the holiday the spirit and intent of holiday entitlement is satisfied. However, in
exceptional circumstances, an associate can subsequently take an unpaid lieu day of holiday
subject to manufacturing requirements and operational needs.
