Request vs require: Bus driver suing SBS Transit says made to work excessive OT, company says his calculations wrong

SINGAPORE - A former SBS Transit bus driver alleged that he was made to work more than the legal limit of 72 hours of overtime a month on multiple occasions, as the hearing into an employment suit opened in the High Court on Tuesday .

SBST said it will present evidence that Mr Chua did not work more than 72 overtime hours in any one month. In 2019, the Industrial Arbitration Court ruled that the terms of collective agreements between SBST - which employs about 5,900 bus drivers - and the National Transport Workers' Union do not breach the Employment Act.

In its employment contracts, SBST requires its drivers to work 48 hours a week, including four hours of what it calls "built-in" overtime.
