Over Time is required to be paid under S. 59 of the factories Act and it is calculated at double the ordinary rate of wages .
Wages means basic wages and allowances which worker is entitled to including the cash equivalent of the advantage accruing through the concessional sale to workers of food grains and other articles but not bonus.

Consider a major thing about overtime.
If any employee do work on 26th Jan, 15th Aug, on such Public holidays employer has to give 3 times wages than normal.
Many people does not know about that, but we have to keep watch on such things.
