I think this is a good summary of the law in practice. Any overtime has to be compensated by the employer. Obviously, there are ways people work around it if the employee is fine with it...

However, if you go to court about unpaid overtime you are sure to win. This has obviously implications on your hireability though. On paper you are protected.

Unpaid overtime definitely conflicts with labour law. There is also a maximum amount of hours you are technically allowed to work on a day, which is ten. Sixty hours also is the absolute weekly maximum with 48 hours being the regular maximum. However, if you do not report these hours no one will ever know.

Analog Africa is a great label. I have been slowly working my way through their collection and the amount of disco, funk, and rock music they exposed me to is amazing. The music is very refreshing. It just ever so slightly odd and different while also being very positive and rhythmic.

My favourite albums of their collection right now are Space Echo, Amara Toure, and also Bambara Mystic Soul.

I think partially because of Spotify's and Youtube's recommender systems this type of music has picked up popularity lately. There are also several DJs such as Palms Trax and Hunee who have recently started mixing in African Disco into their tracks. I do not complain about this trend.
