Dear Ilangovan,
The Factory Act permits working in all three shifts, including the night shift. We need to ensure there is an equal shift rotation of employees, and accordingly, a shift schedule has to be made in the prescribed form as stated in the state rule. This form must be displayed on the notice board for information to employees and the union. Employees not following the shift schedule will be treated as insubordination per the provisions of the Standing Orders Act. There is no provision for paying a night shift allowance in the Factories Act of 1948. However, the calculation of wages in Night Shift working Section 57 of the Factories Act will apply.
