Asked to work beyond office hours? Know your rights under new Labour Code

Indian employees are often verbally instructed to work beyond mandated hours, a practice normalized but not legal. While the new Labour Code and state laws mandate overtime pay at double the ordinary rate, managerial and supervisory staff may be exempt. Employees can legally document instructions, raise grievances internally, or file complaints with labor authorities to claim unpaid overtime.
