When you are ordered to work overtime, your employer requires you to work more than what is specified in the employment contract. Generally, you cannot refuse to be ordered to work if the conditions for overtime are met. The employer has the burden of proof and must substantiate that the overtime conditions have been met.

If you are asked to work overtime and refuse, you take responsibility for the risk associated with not following the overtime regulations. There are some exceptions to this, such as if you have major health or social considerations, for example if you are on sick leave. In this case, the employer cannot impose orders.
