Labor laws in India are governed by central acts like the Factories Act, 1948, and state-specific Shops and Establishments Acts. Key compliance areas include working hours, overtime wages, annual leave with wages, and maintenance of statutory registers.
Under the Factories Act, adults cannot work more than 48 hours in a week or 9 hours in a day. Spreadover should not exceed 10.5 hours. Overtime must be paid at twice the ordinary rate of wages.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt tracks daily and weekly working hours, automatically calculating overtime at double the standard rate as per statutory requirements.
Employees who have worked for 240 days or more in a calendar year are entitled to annual leave with wages during the subsequent year, calculated at one day for every 20 days of work performed.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt's leave management system automatically accrues privilege leave based on days worked, ensuring compliance with the 240-day eligibility rule.
Every adult worker shall be allowed a weekly holiday, typically Sunday. If a worker is deprived of a weekly holiday, they are entitled to a compensatory holiday within the same month or the next two months.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt schedules mandatory weekly offs and tracks compensatory offs (C-Offs) when employees work on their rest days.
Employers must maintain various registers, including the Register of Adult Workers, Register of Leave with Wages, and Muster Roll, to document attendance, leave, and overtime.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt generates digital reports that serve as reliable backups for statutory registers like the Muster Roll and Register of Wages.
