This query is : Resolved
I am working as a 1 month contract employee for a LPO at the stipend of 12k. As per my contract I have to work for 5 days/week, with 9hrs/day. I do not know what is my per day salary, someone says its 400/day I.e. 12k / 30 days and someone says 533/day, I.e. 12k / 21.67 days. Would be glad if someone can help me regards to this.
Also, I am working overtime since the 1st day. My manager says I will get 50 ₹ per hour for OT & 500 ₹/day of 9 hours for working on off days i.e. saturday and sunday. And if i do OT on off days, i.e. Beyond 9hrs, i would get 50₹. Please can someone help me regards to this.

Maintain proper record of time clocked.
More importantly generate evidence that you were asked to work beyond 9hrs/day and 48 hrs/week.
Monthly wages/26=per day wages
Monthly wages/26/8=per hour wages.
Work>30 minutes may be considered as 1hr.
OT is @ double wages.
Look into Shops and Estbs Act of your state.

Agree with the expert Kumar Doab.
Keep full record of the work done and orders / instructions when asked for the overtime.

I agree with experts opinion.
However, since your job is purely temporary and contractual for one month, how do you expect to get/avail remuneration/ compensation/ pay & allowances/perks & facilities at par with counterpart permanent employee(s)?
