The Factory Act or Contract Labour Act does not differentiate between regular and contract workers. Therefore, the working hours applicable to regular employees should be kept the same for contract employees as well.

Dear Friend,
Working hours are 8 hours per day, inclusive of a lunch break, for all workers, whether in the role of a factory employee or under a contractor. Any work beyond 8 hours will attract double the rate and be treated as overtime.
