It should be mentioned in your contract. Most of the Companies are having a contract saying 48 hours per week at the rate of 8 hours per day.

Hi

If there is some fine print in Arabic in your contract, there is no other choice :-).Professionals in white collar jobs work from 7.30 Am till 3.30 PM noon. No fixed work hours for laborers and contractors,but, they can ask for overtime pay.

Cheers

In terms of legal its 8 hours only, beyond that is overtime. But yet there is no definition for word LEGAL in many companies. Everything is based on ones contract.
