Compensatory Work
ARTICLE 64 – In cases where time worked
has been considerably lower than the normal working time or where
operations are stopped entirely for reasons of suspending work due
to force majeure or on the days before or after the national and
public holidays or where the employee is granted time off upon his
request, the employer may call upon compensatory work within two
months in order to compensate for the time lost due to unworked
periods. Such work shall not be considered overtime work or work at
extra hours.
