IT Supervisors Overtime Rules Under New Labour Codes
Supervisory employees in the IT sector earning more than ₹18,000 monthly are now subject to the Labour Codes' working‑hour and overtime provisions. The government may raise the salary threshold, and firms must track extra hours, pay overtime at prescribed rates, and ensure compliance to avoid penalties, impacting payroll and project timelines across the industry.
Key Points
- Employees in supervisory roles earning > ₹18,000 per month fall under the new Labour Codes.
- Overtime must be recorded and compensated at rates set by the government.
- The salary ceiling can be increased by a Central Government notification, widening the scope.
Employers in the IT industry need to update time‑tracking systems, revise payroll processes, and train managers to ensure all extra hours are logged and paid correctly. Non‑compliance could lead to fines and legal challenges. For full details, see the original article here.
