Overtime and additional hours, do you know what the deference is?

If you have a 39 hours contract, all extra hours are overtime, and you get plus 25% per hour.
If you have a contract with less than 39 and more than 30 hours, you can work additional hours up till the 39 hours, they are paid as normal hours, and after these hours you can have overtime (+25%), remember, maximum working hours per week are 48 hours.
If you have a contract with 30 hours or less, you cannot have additional hours unless you have a written agreement with the company and the maximum additional hours you by law can agree to are 30% of the hours you have in your contract. Overtime is not legal with these contracts.
