Dear All,
Greetings!
I have recently joined as an HR Executive in an IT firm with around 30+ employees. I have a query regarding working hours in my organization. I have gone through past threads, but my queries are as below:
We have working hours of 9 hours from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm (Monday to Saturday) without overtime pay, and only Sunday is a holiday. According to the Factories Act, 1948, working hours in a factory in a week should not exceed 48 hours.
Can these hours be reduced by conveying it to the Director, or is it completely the employer's decision?
Kindly help me out with the same.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Ms. Priya,
As per standard working hours in factories or any establishments, it is 48 hours in a week, i.e., 8 hours x 6 days = 48 hours. In your establishment, it is 9 to 6, which is inclusive of intervals and lunch. Please check, as it could be 8 hours excluding intervals for lunch, etc.
Thank you.
