Understanding Overtime Eligibility and Calculation Under the Factory Act: Can You Help?

Hi to all members,

Please tell me which employees are eligible to get overtime under the Factory Act and what is the formula for calculating the overtime. Please reply soon.

Regards

Dear Lokesh,

If you work physically and earn a salary less than the staff average, the idea is about 7500 or depends on company policy. You can calculate the overtime like this:

Salary / 26 / 8 * 2

Thank you.

Please let me know how much time is allowed for overtime per day, per week, or per quarter. Is it possible to apply for overtime on a monthly basis? Please clarify the concept of overtime.

Thanks,

Dear Pradeep,
The overtime policy is determined by the applicability of the Act. Therefore, first, examine which of the State or Central Acts, e.g., Factories Act, 1948, Minimum Wages Act, 1948, State Shops & Establishment Act, etc., is applicable in your case. Then, review the overtime provisions in that Act and the Rules to address your query.

Yes, Sir, as per your kind guidance, I tried to get information from the Factories Act 1948 but did not clarify what I needed. Our company is located in Gurgaon, Haryana. It is a Furniture & Fixtures Company, involved in metal/wood & glasswork.

Clarification on Overtime Timings

Sir, please clarify the OT timings, such as how much overtime is allowed after 8 hours of working as per the Factories Act 1948. Also, could you please advise on the number of hours allowed for OT within a week and a quarter after an 8-hour workday?

Thank you,
