Dear Garima,

Thank you for the valuable information. We are working 8 hours per day and 6 days a week. In those 8 hours, we only get a half-hour lunch break and not a single tea break. Could you please let me know if there is any law that states tea breaks?

Regards,

Dear Member,

There are 3 conditions which should be satisfied under the Factories Act:

1. Not more than 8 hours of working.
2. Not more than 9 hours in a day.
3. Not more than 10 1/2 hours with spread over.

Maximum working hours can be 9 hrs including the lunch break (if the organization operates on a 5-day working week).

Do you have any documented proof for this?

My question is as follows:

Can you please clarify if shift timings are 9 hours/day, meaning a 5-day working week?

What does 9 hours per shift mean? Does it include breaks or not?

As per our company's policy, for every 14 days of work, an employee is entitled to 3 days of leave.

This is divided as one week with 6 working days and one week with 5 working days.

In this scenario, if we have 9 hours per day, it totals 99 hours, equating to 49.5 hours per week.

If we exclude break times, it totals 88 hours, which is 44 hours per week.

Since break timings are not explicitly stated, I would like to know what the Tamil Nadu Labour Law recommends as working hours per week.

Previously, our shift timings were 8 hours per week, including a 45-minute break. Now, the shift timing has been increased to 9 hours; however, we are not receiving any monetary benefits. Can we request the same from our employer?

As per law, a company is justified in having a 9 hour shift with 8 hours of working. Hence, you would not be eligible for any monetary benefit for the same.
