Overtime Regulations Under the UP Shop & Establishment Act
Your establishment is under the UP Shop & Establishment Act. As per Section 6, more than eight hours of work per day constitutes overtime and must be compensated at double the wages. Being a private ITES setup, it may not be advisable to confront the issue directly, but this blatant violation of the law could be subtly addressed in informal group discussions. Sooner or later, it will reach HR and management, so you can expect some reaction. The Labour Inspector can initiate action in this matter once he becomes aware of this violation of the law.
