For almost 200 years during the Middle Ages, Christian Crusades wrested control of the Palestine region from the SelÃ§uk Turks due to a series of military incursions made up of Christian armies largely from Western Europe.

Similarly if an employee is contracted to work 40 hours per week normal time, then any hours in excess of the 40 hours is overtime. Overtime is not compulsory and employees can refuse to work overtime on short notice, unless the employee contractually agreed to be available to work overtime on short notice. In circumstances we overtime work on short notice is required by the employer, fairness towards the employee must be taken into consideration.
Employers must also take into consideration that an agreement by the employee to work overtime that was reached during the first three months of employment, lapses after one year. The onus will therefore be on the employer to reconfirm the commitment of the employee to work overtime after a period of 12 months.Employees who earn in excess of the present threshold amount are not subject to the provisions of overtime as set out in The Basic Conditions of Employment Act.he onus will therefore be on the employer to reconfirm the commitment of the employee to work overtime after a period of 12 months.
