Hi people,
Mine is a newly established IT company in Pune and we are working on fixing various policies for the company.
One confusion that we have is regrading the overtime policies followed in IT companies in India.
Our Director has specified that each employee has to put in a minimum of 10 hours each day because that is the standard industry practice in the IT industry. What are the maximum hours that the employee should be working in a week according to Bombay Shops and Establishment Act? I know it is 48 hours for a 6-day work week. But what about a 5-day work week, like we have? If it is 40 hours, should the employees be given overtime money for the extra 2 hours?
Also, an employee on probation is not allowed any sort of paid leave for 6 months, even if it is sick leave. Therefore if one employee takes a full day leave on a weekday but comes to work on a holiday like Saturday, can that be taken as a compensatory work day? And, similarly, can half days be compensated for by putting in extra hours?
