6.2 | You will also be required to work such additional hours as and when requested to do so by the Company or when the proper performance of your work so requires.

In order to ensure that you take sufficient breaks throughout the year, if you accrue in excess of 40 days Annual Leave, the Company may, with one (1) months’ notice, direct you to take up to one half (1/2) of that leave within a specified time. You agree that the Company's direction to take any part of that accrued entitlement is reasonable. |
