Working for extra days
3 years ago
sir,
i am working in one central govt organisation. They hired me for one project for 2years and there is a renewal for the job position. My question is according to my offer letter they said you have to work saturdays only if there is urgency. But they are making me to work for every saturday and even in holidays forcefully. Can i get any compensation or arrears for working extra hours.

A.If the employment letter states that workdays are limited from Monday to Friday and provided for an exception to be used in exceptional cases. Then you have a clear case.
It is expedient to go through your employment letter, in order to ascertain a better picture.

A.As they are making you to work for every Saturday and even in holidays take it in writing because as per your offer letter they said you have to work Saturdays only if there is urgency. So the letter of urgency has to be made by the respective department about the urgency of work. And then ONLY it can be called as urgency . In your case I think that the Higher officials are NOT aware that you are working on holiday & ALL Saturdays..When it is mentioned URGENT it should be given in writing.
