Dear Viren,
When different labor laws allow us to work overtime, albeit with certain limits, and if the worker/employee refuses to work overtime, then from whom will the management take overtime?
With Regards,

[viren26;1030226] Can a company forcibly impose on an employee to work beyond a 9-hour shift? If not, under what section can we fight against them?

The question is not clear. Anyway, the maximum work hours without OT would be 8 hours * 9 working days or 9 hours * 8 working days. It should not be more than 48 working hours a week, with a compulsory holiday in a week.

Dear Jayraj,
According to the Factory Act, overtime (OT) calculation is done by considering 26 days in a month to calculate the daily wage (or 8 for per hour wage). The calculated daily wage is then multiplied by 2 to determine the OT wage.
I hope I have clarified all your doubts.

Hi,
Our company is demanding us to work 13 hours a day, sometimes even requiring us to come in on weekends. We work in IT and understand the client's requirements, but it's tough to work every day. Unfortunately, our employer is not in a position to understand this.
What could be done about this?
Thanks,

Section 56 of the Factories Act stipulates that the period of work of an adult worker shall be arranged so that, inclusive of intervals for rest under Section 55 (Section 55 states that no worker shall work for more than five hours before having an interval), it shall not spread over more than 10.5 hours. This means a worker should not be engaged for more than 10.5 hours. There is an exception: in cases where special permission from the CLC is obtained, such spread over can be increased to 12 hours.
