Hello, we are a construction company in Mumbai, Maharashtra. One of our employees came to the office on a public holiday, worked for two hours, and then left. Do we have to pay overtime? Please advise.
Thank you & Regards

Yes, you have to pay overtime wages at double the rate if the total working hours in the week have exceeded 48 hours. If the employee had taken a leave (with pay) on any day during the week, that day or days would be counted as day/days worked, and 8 hours per day of leave with pay should be included in the 48 hours to decide entitlement for overtime wages.

Thank you for your reply. She is in the Manager cadre. Still, do we have to pay her O.T?

@NK SUNDARAM, the query is about overtime payment to an employee designated as a manager. It is true that managers cannot demand overtime as a matter of right. However, there is nothing preventing a manager from receiving overtime payment. Moreover, if she has not been given any supervisory or managerial powers, then she can very well claim overtime wages. The thread poster was just seeking clarification, and it should not be interpreted as a lack of knowledge.
