The plan of changing the name of the overtime in payslip to something else is imprudent and counterproductive.

There are obviously records of in and out times and the fact that the employee worked overtime. They have to be paid overtime in accordance with the law.

It only takes one complaint by an employee for the house of cards to fall apart.

Incidentally, if you pay extra under 'Good work allowance' for the additional hours, when an inspection occurs and there is proof that overtime was worked, the company will be obligated to pay it again, regardless of what was previously paid. In addition, there may be penalties and prosecution for payroll fraud.

As for the other question, overtime applies to every person in the factory except the factory manager or occupier, as everyone else is a worker and, therefore, overtime regulations apply. It is irrelevant whether the individual is a staff member, manager, officer, associate, or any other title. Every person in the factory is considered a worker.
