According to law number 4857, the regular work week is 45 hours. Any worker working over 45 hours works overtime. If a worker did not work over 45 hours per week on average for a period of 2 months but worked over 45 hours during certain weeks, this will not be considered as overtime. If overtime work is necessary in a workplace, the worker has to give consent in writing. If a worker does not accept to work overtime, he cannot be forced. However, if overtime is mentioned in the employment contract, the provisions of the contract will be effective.
