Under the Uttar Pradesh Shop and Establishment Act, 1962, the provisions governing overtime are clearly stated.
✅ Here are the key points:
1️⃣ The Act stipulates that no employee shall be required or allowed to work in any establishment for more than nine hours in any day or for more than 48 hours in any week.
2️⃣ Employees required to work beyond these limits are entitled to overtime.
3️⃣ The overtime rate is typically twice the ordinary rate of wages.
4️⃣ It's important to note that the total number of hours of work including overtime should not exceed 10 hours in a day and 54 hours in a week.
📝 To ensure compliance with these provisions, you should:
⏱️ Regularly monitor employee working hours.
💰 Ensure correct overtime rates are applied.
📚 Keep accurate records of working hours and overtime paid.
💼 Establish clear policies and procedures for overtime work.
