Overtime Policy

the essence

The essence of the overtime policy is to set out the rules and procedures for employees working additional hours beyond their regular work schedule. It covers issues such as eligibility for overtime pay, how overtime is calculated, and how it must be approved. The policy should be communicated clearly to employees and followed consistently to avoid misunderstandings or disputes.

Rules for working extra hours, paid compensation

Best Practices

# One

Toyota has a policy called “service overtime,” where employees can work up to two hours of overtime per day to help customers with vehicle repairs and maintenance. This policy allows employees to earn additional pay while also providing a high level of service to customers.

# Two

Mahindra & Mahindra has a policy of compensating overtime with additional pay or additional leave. The company also provides facilities such as transport and meals for employees working beyond their scheduled hours. Additionally, the company has a “Flexi-Time” policy which allows employees to work beyond their scheduled hours and compensate for the extra hours by taking off time from work at a later date.

The Indian government has set up a toll-free helpline, "Shram Suvidha," for workers to report non-payment or underpayment of overtime wages

Let’s face it! HR Policies need to be designed keeping the industry sector, business requirement and the needs of the workforce in mind. A one size fits all approach does not work when it comes to writing a number of policies.

On the other hand, labour laws require that companies adhere to various statutory compliances, but are difficult for the lay person to comprehend. Why stress over them. Leave the heavy lifting to us!
