Dear Experts,
I was employed in a MNC where they used to make us work 12 hours a day and 5 days days a week for almost 2-3 months whenever we had New projects.
When equired about overtime salary or allowance, HR said our company does not have overtime pay in the policy and you will not be paid.
Recently I came to know that the MNC is registered under shops and Establishment act, and after reading the Act, as per statute that are liable to pay the overtime.
Can HR deny from paying overtime staying that company does not have such policy ? Which is still denied for other employees.
Since I moved out of that company 1 year ago, can I still ask for the overtime wages.
Regards,
Shawn.

The employer should pay OT alongwith monthly salary.
The employer should ask for OT in writing.
The employee should lodge claim for OT in reasonable time.
The question arises how would you prove the work hours and additional time asked by employer, if you claim that correct FnF is not done by employer?
You may however consult an able counsel with all docs that you have and give inputs in person.

Employer does not give OT in writing... verbally tell everyone to support for extra hours...
I can get my login out details from the contacts in IT Team...
