Hi Experts,
i have worked for atleast 4 MNC companies in IT as of now but i have faced generic tendency of managers to force for work till late nights and forcing to stretch after 8-9 working hours even; for strectching they are not providing any money compensation or overtime also and if they provide that is very minimal only 50-100 rs per hour.
staying more than 9 hours in office all the time impacts work life balance and health of employee but they still encourage this exploitation and sometime threats for lay off or severe implications on employement, most generic is not giving performance appraisal as they compare you with others who are afraid and doing the work as per them however violating the labour law rules i guess.
please advise me with provision and remedies for such type of instances like forcing for stretch and threating employee and provision for overtime also in case if very required to stay then how much they should pay atleast as per labour law of india.

The major problem in labour law is India is that it does not apply to white collar workers.
In this case the only remedy is to file a case for recovery of money with damages.
Try to form an organization who would voice a protest so the same may reach the top echelon of the corporate hierarchy.

Dear raju
you should sent a RTI application before labour Commissioner Office and get your answer with all relevant records and rules and regulations.
you can read Wages act, factory act, labour Laws.
