    Executive kiwwama OT nogewa inna puluwanda?

    it was my understanding :(

    but as I know, even banking sectors pay another kind of allowance for these.

    not sure if that is an obligation.

    danna tika thamai oya... designation walata OT decide karanne nehe ban. salary ekata thamai OT decide karanne. ethakoda Executive kenek Sunday ekaka wada karahama allowance ekak denne samahara company wala.

    Executive lata OT denne neththe salary eka wadi nisa. salary eka wadi unahama OT rate eka per hour wadi.

    IT HR kiyana okkoma machan support services. Executive grade ekak denne Proffesional qualification and experience anuwa machan.

    sometimes staff salaries can be higher than executive grade salaries..so how will it work in that event?

    please correct me if I'm wrong, but as per labor acts you are required to pay OT if your staff has been working exceeding a certain number of hours per week, or if your staff has worked on statutory holidays.

    this has nothing to do with your salary.

    I'm not exactly clear on how executives are exempted for this but as far as I know management grades are not necessarily eligible for OT.

    please do correct me if I'm wrong here.

    OVERTIME PAYMENTS

    What is the overtime payment rate and how do I become eligible for it?

    According to Section 24 (d) of Minimum Wage Ordinance, the issue of work on holidays and the wages for such work should be at a rate not less than the overtime rate.

    If an overtime rate has been pre-determined, then it should be one-and-a quarter times the rate normally applied to such work.

    Holidays with or without pay must be granted on a day within a specified number of days.

    In the case of any special class of workers, payment for their work must be not less than one and a half times the normal rate, without a substitute holiday.

    According to The Shop and Office Employees Act the period of work for a day is eight hours, and for a week it is forty five hours. Therefore any additional hours of work is considered overtime. However this provision is not applicable to managers and executives in a public institution.

    The method of calculation of overtime per hour is: Monthly Salary x 1.5 / 240
    With regard to the overtime work of women and young persons, Section 67 of the Factories Ordinance considers any fraction less than half an hour as a period of half an hour and similarly any fraction greater than half an hour but less than a whole hour, actually as a whole hour of work.

    above is taken from http://www.salary.lk/home/labour-law/work-and-wages/minimum-wages-and-overtime-payment

    not sure if OT is a must for managers and executives in private sector.

    just called and verified from the labor minister
    "Executives are top level people in a certain organization. So they should be paid some big money. If top management decided to enroll employees for executive title, but still for less salary they should be paid OT + allowances." :)

    wut about people in private institutions ?? :baffled::baffled:

    only thing this clears up is how naive the typical sinhalese are :P

    This act applies to all.Even the HR managers refers to these online pages just to remind themselves of the rules.So what does the typical worker knows:P.Even the act is there most of the overtime pay is decided by the company.And some are not allowing to do OT for executive grade workers because the pay is high.Most of the time factory workers earns more than executives by OT alone.

    ikr some folks are making shit money on OT alone.. I know a couple of factories which try to limit their daily OT hours to reduce labor cost.

    and this page says employers are not required to pay OT for public holidays which may be true, seeing as how different companies pay different rates for same holidays :):)

    Is there a minimum wage for an executive grade in sri lanka?Minimum wage hangs around 6000rs.So unless the company is good they aren't bother about OT if you are an executive paid around 20000.According to text 20000 is a big salary.

    I don't think so.. I've seen junior executives being hired below 15000 without OT.

    probably it's the same minimum wage for all the grades.

    Terrible act:no:The minimum wage for executives is driven by companies.When the Indians arrives it will get down to around 12000/= for an executive.

    yeah well..I guess the problem also is that there are no sets of qualifications specified in the labor rules for each grades as far as I know..so companies can bend whatever rules there are to suit their plans

    They bend as much as they can for their profit.Even MBA people apply for executive grades.Unless for the overqualified you will not be able to become a manager in coming future.Unlike other countries you can't even do blue collar jobs here,heavily underpaid and looked down.Future will be shit for those in careers.
