Am I missing something? From the article:

"“An employee working in IT/ITeS/BPO sector may be required or allowed to work for more than 12 hours in a day and not exceeding 125 hours in three continuous months.”

Of course, requiring employees to work 12 hrs/day is torture, but 125 hours in 3 months is nothing: in a normal 40-hour workweek, you'd work that much in slightly over 3 weeks. At 12 hrs/day, they'd fulfill their 125-hour quota in about 10.5 days and then be able to take 80 days off for paid vacation. Is there some kind of misprint here?



I assume that's the limit for overtime hours, e.g. if you works 12 hours a day, 12-8 = 4 hours of that is counted towards 125 hours limit over 3 months.


I think it’s 125 hours of OT in 3 months. Also, paid vacation isn’t as liberal in India as it might be elsewhere.
