We proposed to engage two of our employees to shift the system from the general shift. Our general shift time is 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The proposed shift timings are 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Could you please advise on the procedures that need to be followed?

Dear Colleague,
It is not clear whether you are mentioning it for a factory or shop. In case it is a factory, as per the provisions of the Factories Act and Tamil Nadu Factories Rules, you need to show the shift timings in FORM 11 and file it with the Dy Director of Industrial Safety and Health having jurisdiction in your area. If there is an overlapping of shifts, you will need to obtain an exemption from the authority by mentioning the timings in FORM 11.
General shifts are typically from 6.00 AM to 2.00 PM, 2.00 PM to 10.00 PM, or 10.00 PM to 6.00 AM in factories. Please review if you have a Standing Order for your factory and comply with any other conditions, such as Notice of Change, if applicable.
All the Best, God Bless.

9 to 5:30, 6 to 2, 2 to 10 are just mathematical calculations. Shift timings are decided for the maximum utilization of production resources. However, it also has to be considered the transport available. Factors such as the distance between the workplace and residence, the availability of public transport at 5 am and 10 pm, whether the employer provides transport arrangements, or if a traveling allowance is paid are some of the various considerations when deciding shift timings.
The Factories Act states that not more than 9 hours a day and not more than 48 hours a week should be worked, with a half-hour rest after 5 hours of work. However, it does not specify the timing of shifts, leaving that to the convenience of the employer and employees. Overlapping timing in shifts is typically not allowed, except in cases where preparatory work is necessary, such as when a boiler needs to be heated for production. The Factories Act aims to provide health, safety, and welfare for workers, guiding the timing of shifts with these considerations in mind. It is advisable to seek approval from workers or unions when making such decisions.

I believe that reference to standing orders will make it easy to implement the shift system. There has to be proper communication within the legal framework to start a shift system. It is also required that proper welfare and safety measures be taken while the system is to be put in force. Managers and supervisors are to take due care for proper implementation.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The reply is partially correct. While referencing standing orders is helpful, legal compliance, welfare, and safety measures are crucial. Additionally, involving HR for policy alignment is advisable.
