Exploitation?
Permalink   
 


My sister is doing her internship at a wine estate in Stellenbosch for 4 months. 
 
They have requested that she work 12 hours a day, 8-10 days consecutively. So that amounts to 84 hours per week, or up to 120 hours in 10 days. She then get's 1 day off per 8-10 days work.  She does not get paid overtime. Surely this is exploitation?
 
How does one go about reporting this and whom should one contact regarding?
 
I look forward to your opinion,

It is in contravention of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. The appropriate contact would be the Department of Labour.
