Here Ms. Divya is asking whether the company policy is correct or not, then it is incorrect
With regards to alternate policy, please refer the office timing policy available in this site, and with regards to Extra Working Hours, you can compensate as per the Statutory norms or better than that. But adjustment/Leniency in office timing should not be entertained.

Hi Divya,
All our learned members have given valuable suggestions.I would like to add a personal experience in a situation very similar to that of yours.I was in a central PSU posted in one of the stations in Eastern part of the country.There were about fifty employees and staff strength could not be increased because of restrictions from regional hqrs.Now the nature of the work was such that very often some employees had to work till late in the night.The next day they had a rostered morning duty starting at say 6.30 a.m.Thus the mandatory gap of eleven hours between two shifts could not be given to them as that would have jeopardized the morning work schedule.So what we did was,apart from paying o/time we use to record the difference between 11hrs and the shortfall.For example if the employee signed of at 10.30p.m. and came at 6.30 p.m. next day he got 8 hrs rest instead of 11 hrs and thus 3 hrs were recorded in his acount under ' duty time limitation'(DTL).
The rostered duty for all employees was 8hrs.So adding such DTLs to 8hrs ,one could take a day's off.However part use of DTL of a particular day was not allowed That is if an employee had three DTLs of 3hrs each then he could take one day off but all three DTLs (equivalent to 3x3=9hrs)would get extinguished.This had the necessary sanction of auditors also and was unique to that particular unit of ours.

Hi Divya,
Overtime menace is undesirable and all the same inevitable too.
Many divergent views have been expressed by learned members.
I wish to add a different dimension.
For certain cadres in Management there is no concept of overtime.
( Be it Public Sector Or Private Sector)
If I can take the liberty of coining a new phrase it is ALL TIME.
One is supposed to be ready at all times to attend a plant call /
call from project site, where emergencies are order of the day!!
All the realtime connectivity gadgets have made things worse
for the middle and top Management people.
Compensation, well, the less the said the better.
If you are lucky your boss may permit you to go early
or come late occasionally !!
