Understanding the Relationship Between Factory Act and Employee Productivity Guidelines - CiteHR

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Does the Factory Act provide any guidelines on norms for productivity (machine shop) for an employee who is a member of a trade union? Please advise.

Thank you,
Upendra Tummala.

This act does not deal with productivity. The Factory Act focuses on safety, welfare, and working measures for employees. Productivity varies from industry to industry. This will be analyzed with the production team according to benchmarks prevailing in the concerned industries.

Dear colleague,

FA does not focus on productivity as its objective is to establish minimum conditions for working hours, weekly offs, overtime, safety, welfare, and health for workers. Productivity norms are primarily determined by the company, and in cases involving unions, they are established through bilateral agreements.

The Factory Act aims to streamline the working conditions of workmen and deals with working hours, weekly offs, overtime, safety, welfare, health, etc., for workers. It also determines safety standards for machines, tools, tackles, and their best use to avoid accidents. However, it does not provide guidelines for productivity. Productivity is something different and needs to be determined by the management with the help of workmen engaged in the production process. Productivity is the ratio between input (man, machine, and capital) and output.
