What are the policies to maintain employees overtime, call on any Holiday, time-bound projects management?

Hi, I want to know how to manage a HR Department in any company, what are the policies to maintain employees overtime, call on any Holiday, time-bound projects management, leave policies, EPF, Gratuity system, ESI etc

Hi Divya
I believe you are fresher by seeing your posting. It is quite big topic. You should read and get expertise for those details on individual topics.

Dear Divya,
Please search this site using the reSearch facility at the top and then pose precise questions giving enough information about the organisation, the size of the department, your position, etc.

Dear Divya,

The subjects you have sought clarification is very voluminous. It all depends how your organisation draft its policy.

Regarding OT it is as per the Factories Act. You can engage them on O.T. for not more than 48 hours in a month. You have to pay double the normal wages(on gross).

On Holidays you can call any employee on exigency of work. For such work, you have to pay the double the wages.

Regarding the Leave - Earned leave is as per the Factories Act - i.e. 1 day for every 20 days worked. Regarding the Casual and Sick Leave it is as per wage agreement or management policy. If employees are covered under ESI you need not to pay any Sick Leave.

If your organisation is covered under ESI(if you have 10 or more employees using power), you have to register with ESI authorities and enroll your employees to the Scheme. You have to pay 4.75% of gross amount of wages and employees have to pay 1.75% of their earnings.

Regarding Gratuity, If any employee worked for 5 years and above, you have to pay 15 days wages for every completed year of service. The working is as follows: No. of years x 15 X Basic+DAs/26.

Time bound Management project - it is upto your policy.

This is only bird view of the schemes.

Dear Divya,
As per factory Act 1948 regarding OT it is mention in a quarter (i.e. 3 months for Jan- March and so on) 50 hours, and it can be extended to 75 hour by taking prior approval from Labour department. So if we say 48 hours in a month than in a quarter if will be 48*3= 144 hour which is not acceptable as per law.
Kindly check and refer chapter VI once again and I am wrong than please correct me.
Warm Regards,
