How Can I Standardize Overtime Payments Across Multiple Locations in My Company?

Dear Members, I am working in a company that has plants in different locations within a state (AP). The criteria for OT payments are different in each of these locations. Some are fixed rates, while some are based on salary. I request the members to inform me on how to standardize the OT payments for all locations (as per the law). In this regard, if you have any policies on Overtime, kindly share them with me. I would also like to create a policy for our company.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ramesh

Please go through the Factories and Establishments Act book, which is available at Koti at any bookstore. It will provide you with detailed knowledge about overtime (OT) regulations in factories and shops.

Thank you.

If your establishment is covered by the Shops and Establishments Act of your state, you need to follow the formula prescribed under it. If it is covered by the Factories Act, you need to follow the formula provided therein. It is mandatory, and thus there is no scope for different units having different formulas for O.T. Payment.
