Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The first proviso to section 27 says a worker shall be required to work overtime only "subject to the consent of such worker", so an employer cannot compel overtime, whatever the size of the establishment. The period of overtime is calculated on a daily or weekly basis, whichever is more favourable to the worker. Overtime is paid at twice the rate of wages, not one and a half times.
