Larsen & Toubro Infotech I have given the L1 on 7th May and that was cleared and L2 given on 14th May.
Got the mail from recruiter that cleared 2nd round and will get update soon for further process.
So in how many days I can expect for HR round and further process ?
Or they can ghost me ? Can it happen in Larsen & Toubro Infotech that after clearing both rounds they won't go forward for further process ?
Thanks

First of all, I'm sorry for your loss.
I can't answer either of your questions about OC specifically, but I can tell you that the public disclosures around the acquisition guarantee that for at least a year, legacy employees can't have their pay reduced. So, if it happens, lawyer up.
I'll also tell you that if OC takes away overtime a year from now, you should STILL lawyer up. OT eligibility is deternined by federal law, not by the company. If they just "decide" you aren't eligible anymore, that's a pretty clear signal that something fishy is going on.
Sorry for your loss. When I was at an OMC agency a few years ago, it was in the handbook. I think it was up to 5 days for a close relation (eg, parent).
Re: overtime. LOL. The only people who may have been eligible were those that were already severely underpaid on the junior account manager side. Everyone else was salary and over the somewhat absurdly low federal OT cutoff.

Getting a salary and meeting the ~$59K minimum, alone, do not allow for exemption--there is a third criterion, the duties test, which must also be met. If you are a creative, executive, or in a scientific or admin function *with substantial decision-making powers* (eg, HR, accounting, IT, QC or your role), you're likely SOL.
However, the reason why IPG legal ultimately determined that operations at an individual contributor level (eg, nonmanagement PM, editorial, and other roles) were entitled to OT was because *they don't pass the duties tests*--and they also, generally, don't meet the higher income threshold needed to *skip over* that test (~$150K).
As a scientific director (and even when you had a lesser title) you almost certainly would never have received OT because of the "learned professional" exemption, and thus would never have given it much thought, which is fair. But IPG certainly didn't extend this benefit to certain roles because they were charitable and magnanimous. I'll also say that I have specific knowledge without saying any more and risking outing myself.
The simple fact is that, if OP was getting OT before, it was because IPG knew it was vulnerable to a lawsuit otherwise--and if none of the circumstances of OP's role have changed under OC, then neither has OP's eligibility.
