The standard working hours for an employee are 40 hours per week, or as prescribed by regulations or permitted by the director. An employee should work no more than 8 hours per day, or as provided in a collective agreement or prescribed by regulation or permitted by the director.

If no collective agreement applies, an employer and employee or a group of employees may enter into an agreement to determine an employee's standard hours of work for a specified period.

The agreement must be in writing and meet certain requirements, including that the employee's standard hours of work per day do not exceed 12 hours and per week do not exceed 60 hours.

The agreement must be posted at the employer's premises where affected employees can see it.
