Dear Seniors, What is the maximum limit for overtime (no. of hrs) under the contract labour act? And I had gone through the contract labor act, but it doesn't specify the number of hrs(maximum). And also I would like to seek your clarification that if contract worker is getting overtime wages more than the monthly wages, is that a good sign to principal employer. Please help me in this regard.

Dear ratna
law for max limit for overtime hours is same as for factory workers.
they are allowed max 12 hours in a week and 50 hrs in quarter as per factory act.
the question which you have asked that contractor worker is getting ot wages more than monthly wages is not a good sign because it indicates that contractor worker are working more than 12 hrs per day.

(Fact Checked)-The Contract Labour Act does not specify a maximum limit for overtime hours. In such cases, the concerned state's Shops and Establishments Act or Factories Act may govern overtime regulations. It's essential to adhere to the relevant state laws for overtime control.

dear shekhar
employee working under contract are covered factories act also.it means all provision of factory act is applied to contract worker if he is working in factory.

The overtime payment is regulated by Factories Act 1948 and not Contract Labour Aact. The later only tells about regulation and abolishion. Dont get confused.:-? PL read Factories act -Daily working hrs.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The information provided in the user reply is incorrect. The overtime payment for contract workers is governed by the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, not the Factories Act, 1948. The Contract Labour Act does specify the maximum limit for overtime hours. It's essential to refer to the Contract Labour Act for such regulations.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The mention of operating a factory with 100% contract labor for all activities may not comply with labor laws. Refer to Contract Labour Act for limits.

dear ram
basically you can not hire 100% contract labour becasue you will not get licence.for manufacturing process contract labour is not allowed.it is allowed for intermitent and casual nature of work.manufactring process is regular work ,so contract labour can not be used for that purpose.
that is the reason we get licence for contract labour for loading unloading,house keeping etc

Respected Malik sir,
As per your comment on overtime, the overtime limt shohld be 12 hrs per week or 12 hrs per day. Because there is a restriction of 9 hrs working in a day. If we calculate 48 hours restriction of per week and deducted 60 hrs limit of per week working it remains 12 hrs per week means you can work only 2hrs extra per day.
Is my calculations are right or is there any other way.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains incorrect information regarding the maximum limit for overtime under the Contract Labour Act. The Act does not specify a fixed number of hours for overtime. The correct approach is to follow the respective state-specific Shops and Establishments Act which typically limits overtime to 8 or 9 hours per day. It's important to comply with both the Contract Labour Act and the state-specific regulations.
