My company operates for only 3 days a week, but for 10 hours each day. Am I eligible for overtime pay under the A.P. Shops and Establishment Act? Since the word "and" is used, and I am not exceeding 48 hours in a week, please advise.

According to the A.P. Shops and Establishment Act, employees in shops are not to work for more than eight hours a day and 48 hours a week. Additionally, employees can work beyond these limits, up to a maximum of six hours per week, on payment of overtime wages. In your case, working 10 hours a day for three days a week does not exceed the weekly limit of 48 hours. Therefore, you may not be eligible for overtime pay as you are within the specified weekly hours. It's important to review your employment contract and company policies to ensure compliance with both the Act and any internal regulations. If you have further concerns or require clarification, consider consulting with your HR department or legal counsel for personalized guidance.
