Dear Sirs,
We have a new project in Kerala and we engaged EPC contract. our manpower is only management staffs like Engineers, Senor Engineers managers etc( not workers or labours). Since it is a on site job our normal working hours are 10+1.
As per labour law 8 hours daily working time and 50 hrs OT for a month is applicable ( as per my knowledge ). But in our case it may go more if we will keep daily working hours as 8 hrs. we are ready to pay more money to staff if they worked more hours. But my question is " the rule of 50 hr OT per month". In our past case many time the OT hrs exceed 50 hrs. Also we dont want to increase manpower instead of giving OT. If the staffs agreed to work for 10 hrs per day, is it possible? please clarify.

under any circumstances, no employer/occupier/manager can compell the employees or workers or labour to work more hours, other than the provisions of labour laws.
