5. Can employees volunteer to work on a rest day?

An employee, except young persons under the age of 18 employed in industrial undertakings, may work voluntarily on a rest day. However, employers cannot compel employees to work on a rest day.

 

Any condition in a contract of employment which makes payment of an annual bonus or end-of-year payment conditional on an employee agreeing to work on rest days is void.
