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.
A person who believes strongly that each of us should be just who we are has an individualistic outlook. If you don't like conformity, then you're individualistic too. Many people believe that our society tries to make us all the same â to like the same food and wear the same clothes. Folks who reject that idea are individualistic. They believe that the most radical thing you can do is be yourself, however different that self may happen to be. The U.S. was known as country of individualists for many years.
