The argument: worker's productivity is lower than expected, a lame argument for those who seek to pay less well below legality
In the construction sector is common to hear small talks, among construction workers, but also technical staff, about the number of work hours outside the regular work hours. The extra hour was extended to a point of now a day of work requires more than 25% of the time at the construction site to perform the same work tasks while building. The argument: worker's productivity is lower than expected, a lame argument for those who seek to pay less well about legality.

This needs to happen publicly while acknowledging the limitations observed in society at the citizen level. So enterprises know better the road ahead a plan in advance the expected changes required to operate their businesses safely.
