Book III — Conditions of Employment
Article 87Overtime work.
ELI5— what this means for you
Every hour past 8 = your regular hourly rate + 25% more. On rest days or holidays, overtime climbs to +30% on top of the already-elevated holiday rate. Your employer cannot make you work overtime without extra pay.
Key point
Regular overtime = +25%. Holiday/rest day overtime = +30% on top of elevated rate.
