Overtime & Overtime wages under Cost and Management accounting


Overtime & Overtime wages for Cost and Management accounting

 Work carried out in excess of a basic workday by an employee or worker (typically 8 hours a day, 5 days a week) as specified by the Factories and Shop Establishment Act. It has also defined the overtime rate and maximum overtime hours.

 Overtime is outside the usual working hours that staff spend doing the additional job or finishing the unfinished job. Overtime wages are the amount owed to the worker for the additional time expended on additional and/or unfinished work by the worker.

 Reasons people end up working overtime

  1.  Too much work.
  2. To meet overload.
  3. Rush orders or Special orders or urgent orders.
  4. Scheduling more production.
  5. For making up the time lost due to unavoidable reasons.

 

Disadvantages of Overtime

Cost of Overtime: The expense of premium overtime rate

  1. Inefficiency: If employees slacken their pace of work in order to qualify for overtime
  2. Health of Employees: Regular long working hours, which can adversely affect employees’ work, health and home lives
  3. Fatigue: This may increase absence levels and lead to unsafe working practices
  4. Resentment: Employee expectations of overtime, leading to resentment and inflexibility.

 

 

Treatment of Overtime Premium in Cost Accounting

 If overtime has been done at the desire of the customer then the complete overtime cost will be charged to the job directly.

If overtime is due to the general pressure then overtime cost is charged to general overheads.

If it is due to the negligence of employees, then it may be charged to the concerned department.

It is for reasons beyond control, then it may be charged to Profit & Loss Account.

 

Steps for Controlling Overtime

 Schedule employees for no more than 40 hours in a workweek.

Insist employees take scheduled lunch and rest breaks as it increases employee efficiency.

Inform employees in writing that they are not authorized to work beyond their regularly scheduled hours

Coordinate projects in such a way that they can reasonably be completed in an average scheduled workweek.

Instruct employees to notify a supervisor if they are approaching overtime hours so scheduling can be adjusted.

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
