Dear Rajini Akula,

Providing food during the extended working hours is a good welfare measure. After working late, it becomes difficult for the bachelors to cook the food after reaching home.

However, the welfare scheme also comes with attendant risks. Once the trend of providing food during extended stays is established, what if the few smart bachelors or even spinsters stretch their working hours for the sake of food? If the scheme of providing food in the late hours is started, then what about the transportation facilities for women during the night hours? The demands will keep on growing.

Asking for a policy on a public forum is okay, but weigh the consequences before introducing it.

Thanks,

It's a welcome measure. It's a legal welfare measure to maintain 'canteen' facility during a shift/at pre-fixed timings for providing tea/coffee, BF, lunch, dinner. This will apply during 2nd/B shift and 3rd/C shift also. However what & when to provide should be finalised at bi-partite meeting with union(s). Such measures should apply OT/extended timings as well.

I would recommend that you encourage your employees to report to work on time and leave at the close of working hours. 30 - 45 minutes stretching beyond close of working hours occasionally, is okay. Please note that, we need to consider the time required for the employee to commute back home from office.

If the trend of extended working hours continues, employees will complain about work life balance.

Considering 1 hour commuting and 8 hours work, on an average, an employee spends 40% of their day at work.

So if the working hours itself is stretched on a regular basis, beyond 8 hours, their working efficiency will be affected.

I know an organisation, wherein the Company curbed late sitting, by simply switching off the electricity for 15 minutes in office area, 10 minutes after the close of the working hours.

Employees had to move out and resume work after the power is restored 30 minutes later, without air conditioning facility. Though, there was initial resistance, employees started feeling comfortable with this move and co - operated whole heartedly as they could spend quality time with their families.
