Employers should give notice to the Labour Department before engaging women or young persons in industry to work overtime.

Labour Officer (Prosecutions), Miss Rita Ma, said today (Saturday) that employers had to complete an Overtime Employment Report (Form LD 336) and in deliver it to the Commissioner for Labour before engaging women or young persons overtime work.
Failure to do so is an offence under the Women and Young Persons (Industry) Regulations and the maximum fine is $10,000.
