The applicability of minimum wage rates has been expanded to the workforce of organized
as well as unorganized sectors.
So, where an employee whose minimum wage rate has been fixed by the hour/day or by
any other wage period (as may be prescribed), works on any day in excess of the number
of hours constituting a normal working day, the employer shall pay such employee for
every hours or for part of an hour so worked in excess, at the overtime rate which shall not
be less than twice the normal rate of wages.
