In many regions, an employer cannot demand that you work more than 44 hours per week. However, in some industries and job titles, you may be required to be on-call, work evenings, weekends, holidays, and overtime. This requirement is especially true in a production or logistics environment.
Before answering scheduling questions, make sure you are crystal clear on the expectations in this role. You can ask to see a sample schedule, or you can ask the hiring authority to outline the hours for you. If you can get the schedule expectations in writing, even better.
If you cannot work overtime as often as Saputo would like, rather than saying you cannot meet their needs, focus on what you can do. It's much better to discuss your abilities upfront rather than committing to a schedule that won't work for your lifestyle and other commitments.
