Telephone operators should confer with their fellow workers to adjust the work schedule so that one person remains at work after regular work hours to respond to client calls.
Employees can receive one of the three compensations for extended work hours. First, they can choose to be paid for overtime. Second, they can choose to get a special discount on China tour packages. Finally, they can choose to take 48 hours off from work.
