Overtime Rules: What Are the Criteria and How Do They Apply in HR?

Overtime Criteria and Rules Inquiry

I am an HR Assistant, and I want to know what the criteria and rules of overtime are. Please help me.

Regards

According to Section 14 of the MW Act, when an employee who works for the minimum wage during fixed hours of the day works any additional hours or days in excess of his normal working day, his employer must pay him the overtime rate for every additional hour he works. The overtime rate is the rate enforced under the government's law at the time he works the overtime hours.

It should be paid double the wages for every hour of his extra work and not allowed to work more than 8 hours in a week.

Your question is incomplete. The rules on overtime depend on which state you are in, what type of organization you are in, and what type of work is being done. Please be more specific in what you are asking. You are not likely to get people to answer if they think you are asking what is already available on Google or has been discussed many times earlier in this forum.

Overtime Payment According to Tamil Nadu Labor Act

As per the Tamil Nadu Labor Act, if a person is doing overtime (OT), we have to pay double the amount of wages. For example, if 100 is the normal wage, we should pay 200 for the overtime hours worked. For PF, the OT amount should not be deducted, but we should contribute to ESI.

In my opinion, if a person is doing OT, it should not be mentioned on the payslip or in the register. Instead, prepare a separate sheet to distribute the overtime wages. By following this approach, you can pay normal wages. Coordinate with your accounts team to execute this effectively.

Remember to be fair to both the employee and the employer.

Thank you.

Legal Implications of Overtime Payment

What you are suggesting is evasion. It is illegal, and you will face significant penalties and definitely be liable for prosecution. Yes, it takes the labor officer or factory inspector just a few hours to gather all details.

Hello Sir,

When calculating overtime pay, it is typically based on the Basic Pay or Basic Pay + HRA. The calculation is usually either at twice the regular rate or at 1.5 times the regular rate.
