the law gives the maximum ...the law gives the maximum hours, u can make your workers work. but u can _as stated by the same law_ make them work less if u want, but not more without compensation (overtime, or an additional day off).

To Be Or Not To Be ...Like it or don't, that is your and my problem. This is their country, they do what they see as right and appropriate. who are we to complain or to raise an issue?? why are we here?? Our home countries spilled us out, rejected us, at least these people here allow us to work. If you do not like it leave it, go to your home country and do what you like.
Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today!!

I still think it'll be 8AM-3PM but no work on Saturdays ...Makes no difference depends on your position and workload.
