Hello Neroyoung,

First of all, remove from your mind the idea that you are working for 9 hours daily. You have a 45-minute lunch break and a 15-minute short break (perhaps for tea). Subtract this 1 hour from the 9 hours, which means you work for 8 hours a day and 48 hours in a week as per the law.

There is a provision in the Factories Act, 1948, to provide rest after working for 5 hours. However, this rest time is in addition to your 8 hours of work and not included within the 8 hours.

I hope the above explanation clarifies things.

Regards,

Hi Suresh,

Please provide a PDF document or link to a government website to prove your point. I'm having a hard time working in the office from 10 AM to 7 PM. It consumes my entire day, and I have no life because of it.

On Sundays, instead of resting, I have to work on my pending household tasks. This cycle continues 365 days a year without a break.
