I am not being paid overtime in my Kanpur job — what is the legal rate?

Overtime is payable at twice the ordinary rate of wages under the Factories Act, 1948 and the Uttar Pradesh Shops and Establishments Act, Uttar Pradesh Rent Control Act 1972, for hours worked beyond the statutory limit in Kanpur. The maximum working hours are nine per day and 48 per week, with overtime for excess hours. Claims can be filed with the labour commissioner, with appeals to the Allahabad High Court. The Minimum Wages Act, 1948 also provides for overtime rates for scheduled employments. Maintain attendance records and payslips to substantiate the claim. The employer cannot give compensatory off in lieu of overtime pay without consent.
