The sum of 48 working hours per week is arrived at by multiplying the normal working hours per day by 6 working days (8 X 6 = 48) during the actual stretch of the week. The phrase "working hours" means only the actual hours worked, whereas the work scenario actually requires some extra hours, and both combined make a full-time stretch during which the employee would be at the disposal of the employer from signing-on to signing-off. It is called "spread over," inclusive of the intervals for rest. As per the ILO Convention, no employee shall be allowed to work continuously for more than 5 hours without a rest of at least half an hour. Therefore, the normal working hours per week do not include intervals for rest such as lunch breaks.

Dear Sir,
Thank you, sir, for the insight. I have a query regarding the welfare fund. All the employees contribute to the Labour Welfare Fund. In many cases, the employees are not aware of the Labour Welfare Fund. The amount contributed by them - are there ways in which they can get the money back if unutilized? How can the fund be utilized?
Please give your valuable feedback on this.
Thank you,

Dear Ms. Smitha,
The Labour Welfare Fund is supposed to be remitted with the Government Labour Welfare Board. In every state, there will be such welfare boards. Once a year (in December salary), it has to be deducted and remitted in January to the board. In Tamil Nadu, it is known as the Tamil Nadu Labour Welfare Board.
There are various benefits and programs available with the welfare board. It is the duty of the HR department not only to remit the fund but also to understand the various welfare schemes and programs available with the board and make use of the same for needy employees.
