Dear Sir / Madam,
As already advised, the 8 hours per day 48 hours per week rule as per the Labour Law is common to all factories and establishments in all industry segment without any special exceptions or exemptions for working hours in an IT Company. If the Company does not compensate its employees for the additional extra hours per day worked, every officer of the Company associated and responsible for this violation remains liable to a fine / penalty and / or simple imprisonment.
Regards,
