Dear Amitnatkar, As per Factories Act 1948, working hours of ladies are from 6 am to 7 pm. But exemptions are provided case by case. Abbas.P.S

Dear Amitnatkar,
if you are engaging a lady in official hours such as 9-6, 10-6 etc., then there is no need for rules. But when you are going apart from this, you need to have sanction from the Local Labour Inspector disclosing the nature of work and timmings of work. You have to disclose regarding your shifts and need to take permission, for these untimed working hours.
Failing to this would atract legal action aganist your company.

Dear Sir,
The position of a CS of the Company is that of a very senior and responsible officer of the Company.
Working on an IPO is a very big deal and a great experience for her.
It is her wish to stay back, if she does not wish to do so, it is her outlook and she can go home at regular office time. Loss would be totally hers because the work involved in an IPO is time bound and her profile is such that she need to devote that time.
She can report to the management if she is being harassed while working for such late hours.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Avika,
It is ok that she is having such a good position and she is staying back so long, but a ACT is a ACT. No change in that. What responsibility will company take if some thing unepected happens. leave about harssement etc, what if some thing happens when she is back to home.
See nothing is a probelm untill it is created. once a problem is there H.R. is responsible. So take care even if employee wishes go for alternatives.

In my opinion, the companies have the decency and ensure that they make arrangements that their employees, specially female employees, reach home safely if they are working late hours.
In case the lady is not getting such facility, she should ask for the facility.

Hello Amit Natkar,
I think Avika is right.
The CS should focus on any problems she may be facing & find suitable solutions rather than generalising.
It's her career & like Avika mentioned IPO isn't a routine work [having handled it earlier I can realise how tough it can get at times].
Let her not look @ the woods. She should look @ the forest before working a viable option.
Reg sidman05's quoting of the Rules, nothing wrong in it, except that there will always be exceptions.

I don't understand how come ppl here are mentioning labour laws and Factories ACT for this case. This lady is a CS and does not come under the IDA. Any such rules are not applicable in her case. Moreover, this lady has come into a profession which demands her expertise as a professional and not because she is a female. We have many officials who are working shoulder to shoulder with men and the world is talking about womens liberation. As a senior lady working with highly skilled professionals at such a senior position, I am sure she cannot be facing any type of sexual harrassment. We can ask all ladies at top positions - be it Mrs. Kiran Bedi, Mrs. Chanda Kochhar, Mrs. Indira Nooyi, etc if they had only worked during day time as or expected more no. of ladies to work with them during odd hours, they would have never achieved their existing positions. I think this lady needs to firstly re-consider her long term personal goals and then take up assignments as per her accumen.

For the Top Management, the working hours does not matter. What matter is the work of the Company. She has a job at hand and a very time bound one. She has to get it finished by the deadlines so that company could go in for the IPO.
The Company provides all the facilities for the top management and it is not irrelevant to work late hours. The Company must be aware of the situation and the suitable arrangements must be in place for the security and safety of a Lady Officer.
So there is nothing to worry.
