Working Hours & Overtime Compliance Checker

Test one shift pattern against every hours limit that applies to it — daily and weekly hours, spread-over, rest interval, weekly rest and the quarterly overtime cap — and get the overtime wages payable at twice the ordinary rate.

The Shift Pattern

Which rules apply to this establishment?

The Codes replace the Factories Act only once a state notifies them. Pick the regime your state is actually operating under.

Shift start (24h)

Shift end (24h)

Unpaid break within the shift (minutes)

Total rest interval. Working hours = shift span minus this.

Longest stretch worked without a break (hours)

Working days per week

Overtime hours already worked this quarter (per worker)

Monthly wage of the worker, ₹

Ordinary rate of wages — basic plus allowances as your state defines it for overtime.

State rules override these defaults. Daily and weekly hours, spread-over and the quarterly overtime ceiling are all set by state rules and vary considerably — several states also allow higher limits by exemption notification. Treat this as a first-pass check and confirm the limits against your own state's rules before relying on the result.
