Question:
Following the conclusion of his contract, Puneet is seeking to recover overtime pay for time worked in excess of a 48-hour week. The facts are as follows: His contract is silent as to the number of hours to be worked in consideration for stated remuneration. His tendered record of the exact number of hours worked, although detailed, is uncorroborated. He has already been paid well in excess of the minimum hourly rate for all recorded hours worked. He is not a farmer or an emergency worker of any kind. Puneet has approached you to represent him in this matter. What legal issues does this scenario raise? What type of employment legislation is relevant to the resolution of this dispute? Does Puneet have a legal basis upon which to make this claim?
