Overtime is voluntary and employees have the right to refuse. There is at least one case (SEAWUSA v Trident Steel (1986) 7 ILJ 86 (IC)) where the court held that an employer can dismiss employees who persistently and unreasonably refuse to work overtime. That is even if there is no contractual obligation to do so.
Individualistic cultures are oriented around the self, independent instead of identifying with a group mentality. They see each other as only loosely linked, and value personal goals above that of the group.
The difference has to do with cultural norms. The term 'culture' refers to attitudes and patterns of behavior in a given group. 'Norm' refers to attitudes and behaviors that are considered normal, typical or average within that group.hese beliefs, and the behaviors that support them, are then taught by schools and by families. The beliefs are often referred to as values, and the behaviors that support these values are referred to as norms. Here's an example of how a cultural norm might be transmitted and how it is related to a value.
