Dear Sohan Singh,
I think that the term 'overtime work' has not been defined in any of the four Labor Codes. So far as a manufacturing establishment is concerned, section 27 of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 prescribes that a worker shall be paid twice the rate of wages in respect of overtime work, where a worker works in an establishment or class of establishment for more than such hours of work in any day or in any week as may be prescribed by the appropriate Government, and the period of overtime work shall be calculated on a daily basis or weekly basis, whichever is more favorable to the worker.
If we cross-check the corresponding Central Draft Rules, 2020, rule 56 stipulates that when a worker works for more than 8 hours in a day OR for more than 48 hours in any week, he is entitled to wages at TWICE his ordinary rate of wages, and the same shall be paid at the end of each wage period.
I also think that it is not different from the provisions of section 59 of the existing Factories Act, 1948.
