He can serve a legal notice for overwork can seek regular hours of working and compensation for overwork. Also he can resign and can search for better work opportunities.

- As per the Factories Act , every adult , cannot work for more than 48 hours in a week and not more than 9 hours in a day. 

- Further, the time worked in excess of these 48 hours per week and nine hours per day will be counted as overtime, and will require the employer to pay workers twice the standard wage.

- Further, the worker have his right to say Yes to overtime or No to Overtime, and employer cannot force him to work overtime, and no disciplinary action can be taken if say no to overtime/overwork.

- Hence, your colleague has his right to inform the manangement for deny the same overwork given to him , and also on the ground of his heath problems.

- If, management refuse to accept his request, then he should approach the court for the sefety of service in that organization .

Complain to MD about employees being forced to work for long hours

Dear

For this problem your friend have to change the attitude because it's due to his attitude he is being forced to take pressure of over working.

He have to be strong enough to say no to work which doesn't belong to him because in IT industry your superior are sitting for exploitation and take credit of your work. 

For some initial days he may have to suffer hardship when he come and goes on time but it will be better change after few days. 

They cannot just terminate him if he work according to his capacity they will find another person whose blood they can suck through exploitation.

you can file a complaint before labour cum conciliation officer of your area where have lastly worked and they will try to settle your matter like a arbitrator but if the dispute is still exists then conciliation officer send your dispute to governer of the state delegated the power to state labour commissioner and they may refer ur dispute before labour tribunal 

1. The employer wanted him to overwork, and he has been doing it. So your friend has no cause of action when he has agreed to do what he is not liable to do.

2. He is free to switch, albeit it is not easy.
