Hi All,
I would like to know if Indian labor law mandates the employer to pay overtime allowance. I am working in one of the leading Banking BPOs, and my work time is 9 hours a day for 5 days a week. My offer letter clearly states that if there is a requirement, I have to stretch and finish the job. I am happy to work but need to know after spending 2-3 hours in the office, will I be eligible for overtime payment? If so, what is the criteria (out of 9 hours, 1 hour is for lunch, will that be considered) and how much should be paid? Also, what about night shift allowance?
Regards, Thrilok HS
