Meteorology services to pay employees

The department agreed through a consent order to pay the employees for all hours in excess of 176 in a five-day week after failing to pay overtime allowance for the employees who were shift workers.

According to the order issued recently by Justice Reuben Lekgowe of the Gaborone High Court, Meteorological Services had to agree that the employees were entitled to an overtime payment for all hours in terms of Regulation 12 of Public Service Regulations.
