Synopsis

Not only that, the compensation for overtime should be at least twice that of the employees’ regular pay, as per the Code on Wages, 2019. Currently, there are several laws, giving diverse thresholds and different definitions of ‘wages’ for applicability of overtime pay, which will all be streamlined under the new codes.

Professionals putting in extra hours at work may have something to cheer for in the new labour codes as the new law, if implemented in its entirety, would widen the purview of overtime pay to include all employees, including managerial staff.
