Overtime
/ Remuneration is not a regular and continuous payment, but it
is of an occasional nature. If overtime is also taken for
coverage of an employee, he may be going out of coverage for
some time and again coming back within the ambit of the scheme,
when over time is not there. This frequent interruption from the
scheme deprives him of the benefits admissible under the scheme
even after making payment of contribution for part of a period.
To ensure continued security and protection, over time is
excluded for determining the coverage of employee. However, it
is included for payment of contribution to cover the risk during
the period he was on over time work, and to enable him to draw
the cash benefits at an enhanced rate, by adding over time to
his average daily wages, he is fitted into the next high slab in
the standard benefit table for claiming cash benefits.
