Frequently asked questions
What is the legal overtime rate in India?
The Factories Act, 1948 mandates double the ordinary rate of pay for overtime work in covered factories — other establishments may follow different rules under state-specific Shops and Establishments Acts.
How is my regular hourly rate calculated?
By dividing your monthly salary by your standard monthly working hours — commonly assumed as 208 hours (8 hours/day × 26 working days), though this varies by company policy.
Does this apply to all types of employees?
Overtime rules typically apply to workers covered under labor laws like the Factories Act — many salaried "exempt" employees (especially in management or professional roles) are not legally entitled to statutory overtime pay.
