However, if they work on days which are not part of his or her ordinary hours of work the employee shall be paid on the first overtime day i.e. the first day worked outside their standard shift, at the rate of time and a half for the first three hours and double time thereafter, except where the overtime is continuous with overtime commenced on the previous day.
