The overtime is calculated after the working hours. so any kind of breaks in the working hours are regarded as part of the working hour.

But my client's argue that as per sec 59 of the factories act 1948 a worker works more than 48 hr in any week..... , but workers are works 8 hrs in a day and 1/2 hr for break means they are work only 48 hrs in a week .and also argued that no where specified ( entire factory act )about this lunch break , include in computation of ot .

Dear this is business norm and common over the globe. the client's argument does not stand valid because the lunch break is human need and law is made to facilitate the human but not to tease them. this is certainly not mandatory that if it is not given in the factory act so it is not applicable, you have to see the social culture and other business laws as well. see the labor law you will find the lunch break, annual, casual, weekly, maternity and paternity off days as well. in the same way the calculation method of the OT must be given there.

I agree with the expert and in addition to his explanation and guidance a person cannot work non stop for 8 Hrs and he has to go to toilet, washing etc. Do you think that the time taken for doing thiese things can be excluded? The answer is a big NO. So the time taken for break is to be included in 8 Hrs of working. Generally in India as the laborers are not educated the factory owners do not consider this time taken in working hours and the workers work in for additional time without any payment for it.
