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.
