I have dealt with many students graduating into jobs in the consulting industry or marketing, for instance who work from 8 to evening and then again on weekends and they are not gomg to stop that because their futurv promotions require them to compete and be better than any- one else in the organization. Their hourly wage is already low by most standards ' below the minimum wage, too but so long as law: only take account of hourly employees. these types will be ignored -. that despite the fact that these types ol'jobs are growing more rapidly and now constitute a larger proportion of jobs than manufacturing pbs A L Overtime limit is wishful thinking nlanulubuu me you Governments themselves, by taxmg employment have created the very Sltuatlon they are now trymg to correct.

Thus, a law which says that overtime can be refused does absolutely no good because if the employee wants promotion or free dom from disciplinary action. they will accept overtime as offered.
