It allows employees in designated occupations such as shipper, receiver, maintenance worker, delivery truck driver or the driver's helper, to work up to 12 excess hours per week and all other employees 100 excess hours per year. This permit applies only to specific jobs in a workplace. There are special rules about what jobs and what work can be included. This permit allows employees performing these particular jobs to work additional excess hours in a year beyond the hours already provided under the excess hours permit. This approval allows an employer to adopt a regular workday of more than eight hours but NOT more than 12 hours, provided that the total hours of work for each employee does not exceed 48 hours a week.
Industry permits There are a certain number of excess hours permits held by certain industries.
This means that businesses in those industries may not have to make individual application for hours of work permits. The Ministry of Labour can provide additional information about these permits.
