Is Paying 8 Hours of Overtime on Sunday Breaking Legal Limits on Daily OT Hours?

sajithda
Hi Team, I need clarity on the below question. Kindly help me.

"If we work on Sunday (Monday to Sunday) and we are paying premium rate wages for a full 8 hours on Sunday."

In the above scenario, the "8" hours that we paid as OT, can it be considered a violation of the legal limitation on daily OT working hours?

I am waiting for the team's response.

Your question is unclear. Can you provide more details and specify the amounts paid?

Clarification on Sunday Work Compensation

Are you indicating that you are paying the monthly salary plus extra for 8 hours on Sunday at the same rate per hour? Additionally, are you required to offer compensatory time off in addition to overtime pay? What is the current status regarding this matter?

Weekly Off and Sunday Work Compensation

One who works for 6 days in a week, the 7th day is a weekly off day for them, and Sunday is considered a weekly holiday for those who work from Monday to Saturday.

Therefore, if one works on Sunday, it would be considered as working on the off day, either to be paid at double the rate of (Basic+DA) or at single wages with a compensatory off day.
