Flood impact on your job

I work for a government English program in Bangkok nowhere near the flooded areas. We were originally supposed to begin the term tomorrow, but it has now been delayed by two weeks to November 15th. I've been told that all government schools in Bangkok have been ordered to delay by two weeks. I was surprised to see no discussion here. Are all you Bangkok teachers in similar situations? Also, we've been told that we will have to make up the time by working Saturdays! Won't this violate the rumored "20 hours max per week" rule?
