Verbal agreements don't count. Neither does the verbal explanation of a written clause. If someone said engineer will be paid overtime when agreement says overtime will be paid as per company policy, nothing can be done about it. Engineers are generally not eligible for overtime.

Every organization has its own rule for payment of overtime. General guidelines for payment of overtime are as follows:

 1.     Normally the “officer” level positions are not entitled to over time.

2.     Overtime are allowed before or after regular office hours

3.     Maximum allowed overtime is forty hours per month and is paid in cash at predetermined rate.  Over Forty hours of overtime are compensated though leave (non-cash payment)

4.     All overtime hours are to be pre-approved and post approved by the supervisor and finally approved by Budget Manager in the over-time sheet.

5.     Overtime is allowed for specific/urgent jobs only and the specific jobs are to be recorded in overtime sheet. Normal/regular jobs are not covered through overtime unless exceptionally approved.

 As written in the contract, please check with the Supervisor and Budget Manager, the reasons for non-payment of overtime. Hope, the supervisor and budget Manager will be able to explain the issue in detail.  The issue is to be solved through dialogue. It is not recommended to go to the regulatory offices such as Concerned Ministry for a solution- as that will complicate the whole issue.
