Dear Ram,
As per factories Act:
Overtime : Where a worker works in a factory for more than nine hours in any day or for more than forty-eight hours in any week, he shall, in respect of overtime work, be entitled to wages at the rate of twice his ordinary rate of wages.
For the purposes of sub-section (1), "ordinary rate of wages" means the basic wages plus such allowances, including the cash equivalent of the advantage accruing through the concessional sale to workers of foodgrains and other articles, as the worker is for the time being entitled to, but does not include a bonus and wages for overtime work.
(i) the total number of hours of work in any day shall not exceed ten hours;
(ii) the spread over inclusive of intervals for rest, shall not exceed 12 hours in

Dear Sir,
In any day 2 hours (OT) allowed normally - 8 Hrs. normal work = 2hrs oT
In any week 12 hours(OT) Normal hours-48 + OT will be 12 Hours = Total 60 Hrs.
In any quarter total hours of oT should not exceed 50 Hours.
In practical it is not possible to follow. Workmen will be normally availing ESI Leaves, other leaves,
absenteeism. Therefore, workmen will be forcefully engaged OT beyond the allowed hours as per the
Factories Act. In continuous process factories, engagement of OT is a must. Any how we have been paying O.T wages twice of normal hours.

Dear all,
first of all thanks a lot for putting some trustworthy insight on OVERTIME. i request you to please put a excel sheet of the same to make me even clear. it does not include anything apart from basic and other allowances, so it means that salary break up i mean the other component of salary structure should not be taken into the consideration, is it so? please put the explanation of the same.

Hi
Overtime for managerial/supervisory staff
If you look into the Section 2 (s) of the Industrial Dispute Act,1947 defines "workman" means any person (including an apprentice) employed in any industry to do any manual, unskilled, skilled, technical, operational, clerical or supervisory work for hire or reward, whether the terms of employment be express or implied, and for the purposes of any proceeding under this Act in relation to an industrial dispute, includes any such person who has been dismissed, discharged or retrenched in connection with, or as a consequence of, that dispute, or whose dismissal, discharge or retrenchment has led to that dispute, but does not include any such person - (i) who is subject to the Air Force Act, 1950 (45 of 1950), or the Army Act, 1950 (46 of 1950), or the Navy Act, 1957 (62 of 1957); or
(ii) who is employed in the police service or as an officer or other employee of a prison; or
(iii) who is employed mainly in a managerial or administrative capacity; or
(iv) who, being employed in a supervisory capacity, draws wages exceeding one thousand six hundred rupees per mensem or exercises, either by the nature of the duties attached to the office or by reason of the powers vested in him, functions mainly of a managerial nature.
