Questions workers ask

The recruiter said overtime is “included in the salary”.

That phrase is too vague to rely on. Current official guidance says working time, rest periods and overtime compensation should be clarified. Ask what hours the stated salary covers, what happens above those hours and how overtime appears on payroll.
