Hi,
I have a question about employees who work in the field. Is overtime applicable to them? For example, consider a field engineer who visits various sites for preventive or breakdown maintenance and gets a visit slip signed from the customer, which also includes time in and out. If such an employee has worked more than 8 hours at a site (excluding travel time), can he claim overtime?
I checked with the factory inspector's office, and they mentioned that they are concerned with the activities carried out within the factory premises.
Can anybody shed light on this?
Best Regards,

Unless otherwise provided in the Standing Orders of the company, traveling sales representatives or other officers are not entitled to overtime allowances. If allowed, there would be no control over the time spent, and every late running of Indian Railways or traffic blocks would cost none but the company.

For working outside the factory or establishment, overtime allowances will not be applicable. In R. Ananthan Vs Avery India Ltd, Madras and Addl. Labour Court, Madras [1972 (42) FJR 304 (Mad.HC)], (1973) ILLJ 166 Mad, it was decided that to attract overtime wages at the rate mentioned, it should be in the factory itself, which means within the factory premises, including the precincts thereof.
