Understanding PF Calculation Days

Can anyone help me understand how the actual number of days for PF calculation is determined? Is PF calculated for additional working hours or duties performed beyond the standard 31 days of work? For example, if a person has worked night shifts in addition to the regular monthly work without taking any leave, how is this factored in?

For instance, can PF be calculated for 33 days if a person has worked all 31 days in October without taking any leave and has also completed 2 night shifts on top of the regular workdays?

Thanks and regards,

as per wages act the working days can not exceed the calander days, any payment over it would be "overtime wages" which is included in ESIC but excluded in EPFO

you can process 30 / 31 days salary , and rest can be added as over time which will be entitled for ESIC deductions , not for PF

How can you show an employee worked beyond 31 days?

If an employee works for more than 8 hours a day, the excess time is considered as overtime (OT). Each state has its own set of rules for engaging employees in OT, with a maximum number of hours allowed. Anything exceeding the regular wages can be recorded as OT, and you can be exempt from the Provident Fund (PF).

Additional days are treated as OT (Over time) and does not fall under PF.
