English term or phrase: lesser

Code of Conduct for Manufacturers
Compensation
We expect manufacturers to recognize that wages are essential to meeting employees’ basic needs. Manufacturers will, at a minimum, comply with all applicable wage and hour laws and regulations, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime, maximum hours, piece rates and other elements of compensation, and provide legally mandated benefits. If local laws do not provide for overtime pay, manufacturers will pay at least regular wages for overtime work. Except in extraordinary business circumstances, manufacturers will not require employees to work more than the **lesser** of (a) 48 hours per week and 12 hours overtime or (b) the limits on regular and overtime hours allowed by local law or, where local law does not limit the hours of work, the regular work week in such country plus 12 hours overtime. In addition, except in extraordinary business circumstances, employees will be entitled to at least one day off in every seven-day period.

Non riesco a capire: non dovranno chiedere ai dipendenti di lavora più di 48 ore settimanali?
