Under compressed 40-hour week in Saskatchewan, an employee works Mon 9, Tue 11, Wed 11, Thu 9. How many overtime hours will be paid?

3 hours

1 hour

4 hours

2 hours

In Saskatchewan, a compressed 40-hour work week shifts the daily overtime threshold to 10 hours per day. Overtime is hours worked beyond 10 in a single day, while the weekly total is still 40 hours for the week.

Calculate by day: Monday is 9 hours—no overtime. Tuesday is 11 hours—1 hour overtime (11 minus 10). Wednesday is 11 hours—1 hour overtime. Thursday is 9 hours—no overtime. Add them up and you get 2 overtime hours in the week.

The total for the week is 40 hours, so there’s no additional overtime based on the weekly 40-hour rule. Therefore, only the two hours of daily overtime on the two longer days are paid.
