Is there any law for the maximum working hours in BPO.
I work for 10 hours of shift which can be a night shift or a day shift. This 10 hours includes 1 hour break.
These 10 hours are extended upto 11 hours everyday.
Earlier we use to do 9 hour shift (8 hrs working + 1 hr break) no night shift. (And these 9 hrs were also extended upto 10 hrs.)
Suddenly the working hours are increased from 9 hrs to 10 hrs and we have to do night shifts now. But there is no change in our salary. No hike (as there is increase in working hrs). And No night shift allowance.
