Hi,
As per Factories Act if any employee works for more than 48 hours per week or more than 9 hours per day ( whichever in favour of worker ) will be overtime hours. In the instant case it appears that the working hours per day is 9.5. hours. If we read the sections 54, 55, 56 & 59 of Factories Act, it appears that maximum spread over including rest is allowed up to 10.5 hrs and in this case with half an hours rest ( Sec-55) it will be 10 hrs. Allowed as per Factories Act. Discuss with the local Factory Inspector for his opinion.
But it will attract OT half an hour everyday beyond 9 hrs working hrs per day. Therefore, the total OT hours will be 0.5 x 5 = 2.5 hrs per week and will be required to pay for 5 hrs at double the rate. It appears that working for 47.5 hours per week, it will be required to pay 45 + 5 = 50 hours wages.
Thanks and regards,

A compulsory rest of at least half an hour (30 minutes) between each period of work and such period of work shall not exceed five hours.
