(ii) the employee’s personal circumstances including any family
responsibilities;
(iii) the needs of the workplace or enterprise;
(iv) the notice (if any) given by the employer of the overtime and by
the employee of their intention to refuse it; and
(v) any other relevant matter.
(c) No apprentice under the age of 18 years of age is required to work
overtime or shiftwork unless the employee so desires.

business premises (whether notified before or after leaving the
premises) must be paid for a minimum of three hours work at the

perform is completed within a shorter period.
