    You may not know this…

    Many businesses put employee overtime hours “in the bank”, so they never pay overtime: they just provide you with regular-pay when you’re on holiday.

    Illegal, but with bribed gov’t, it’ll never be stopped.

    Other employers just disallow the extra-hours.

    It’s common enough…

    “aren’t you feeling lucky to be employed??”

    is a significant threat, in some job-markets…

      Well then you can work two jobs if you can’t do overtime but want to work more than 40. But without the 40 hour regulation, everyone would have to work more than 40.
