The hospitality industry is different as every sector has different working hours, according to the BCEA, employees should only work between 40 - 45 hours a week with a one hour lunch break or 30mins lunch break if agreed between the employer and the employee.

As for payment on Sundays, the BCEA is very clear on this matter, if you normally work on a Sunday, you are entitled to 1.5 your normal hourly wage. If the employee does not work Sundays and is required to do so, then the employee should be double of the hourly rate / wage.

Overtime is something that is regulated between the employer and the employee and the employer cannot force the employee to work overtime if there is no agreement. If there is an agreement to this effect, the employee must work overtime and is calculated at 1.5 times the employees normal hourly rate.

You need to contact the Dept of Labour and report the matter to them and they might send an inspector to further invesitigate the matter.

There is no use in complaining about your situation unless you are actually doing something about it. If you are not happy about the hours that you are working, then address these issues and other concerns with the Food and Beverage Manager. Should the issue fail to be resolved, approach the CCMA as indicated in the previous reply.

We want to report our employer we a in industry where by we work Monday to Saturday then we rotate Saturdays off .now he wants us to work every Saturday during the week we work 7 to 4 how can we avoid working every Saturday .Sunday we don't operate at all

In any industry, an employee must receive overtime when working more than 45 hours a week if you are under the earnings threshold of R21197.64/month. 

Beyond the working hours should be paid by the company as overtime. You should report that company to the Department of Employment or I don't know what it is called in your city. Always fight for what is right. Tree service Sioux City
