Comp Off for Overtime - any legal case laws or judicial pronouncement relating to this?

Dear colleagues,
I think the original query was about OT and Comp. Off under Factories Act/Rules and not about payment for working on National/Festival holidays.

The person who started this thread has not given answer to the query raised by Srinath Sai Ram, that under which category the employee belongs to. Obviously, if the employee belongs to a supervisory category employee, there is no legal hurdle to give compensatory off in lieu of double the rate of wages. It is to be noted that in such cases, if the supervisory employee is getting compensatory off, it should be treated as a bonus because section 59 of the Factories Act which speaks about double the rate of wages applies only to workers.

Dear Mr Narayanan, atleast now can you reply for concluding the discussion.The pertinent point here is category of Workman

In our company GSFC they give compensatory off instade of overtime ,,they do this provision in wage revision under 2 p settlement with Union..Is it possible..
