The Employment Act does not cover such, and thus as long as he/she is certified fit to work, mutual agreement to overtime is allowed. However, taking the "common sense" approach, he/she must be not feeling very well and thus consulted a doctor. For the well-being of the worker, he/she should not be given Overtime but go home on time to rest. Do also note that if he/she is scheduled to do Overtime, there is an increase chance of work injury. In terms of worker productivity, I think it goes without saying.
