Dear member,
The question of the statutory obligation to provide transport facilities to employees at night falls within the purview of Personnel Management (PM). Whatever the statutory requirement may be, the issue needs to be considered from an HR Management standpoint.
Think for a while about what will happen if transport is not arranged to drop the employees home. In that case, they will have to arrange transport on their own. Will all employees be able to do that? What if they are unable to do so? They will simply quit the company. This, in turn, could increase employee attrition. Have you measured the cost of attrition?
Alternatively, job candidates may decline job offers due to the lack of a transport facility. Against this backdrop, your company could lose worthy or talented candidates. What will be the cost of missed opportunities or the loss of talent? Have you measured it?
Today, employees and job candidates have become more demanding. What was a welfare measure yesterday has become an industry norm today. Such norms will continue to increase. Failure to keep pace with these norms could result in business competitors overtaking your company. What could be the cost of catching up with them?
Thanks,

Hi, I can provide some general information, but please note that specific labor laws and regulations may change over time. Here is some information regarding the provision of transport and other facilities for male employees working night shifts in Delhi.
Transportation Facilities:
The employer is generally not legally obligated to provide transportation for male employees working night shifts. However, providing transportation may be considered a good practice for ensuring the safety and well-being of employees, especially in areas where transportation at odd hours can be a concern.
Night Shift Regulations:
In India, the Factories Act, 1948, and the Shops and Establishments Act of the respective state govern working conditions, including night shifts. These laws may have provisions related to the working hours, overtime, and safety of employees working during the night.
Safety Measures:
Employers are expected to ensure the safety and security of all employees, irrespective of gender, especially those working during the night. This may include measures like providing secure transportation options, well-lit parking areas, and ensuring that the workplace is safe and secure.
Facilities for Night Shift Employees:
Employers may consider providing certain facilities to employees working night shifts to ensure their well-being and productivity. These can include:
- Adequate lighting in and around the workplace.
- Safe transportation options or facilitating shared transportation arrangements.
- Access to refreshments or meals during the night shift.
- Adequate rest areas or break rooms.
- Security personnel or arrangements for the safety of employees during night hours.
Overtime and Compensation:
Employees working beyond the regular working hours, including during the night, may be entitled to overtime pay or compensatory off as per applicable labour laws.
Consultation with Legal Professionals:
For specific advice and compliance with local laws, it is advisable for employers to consult with legal professionals who are knowledgeable about labour laws in Delhi.
Consulting Local Authorities:
Employers may need to check with local labour authorities or industrial bodies for any specific regulations or guidelines that pertain to night shifts in their industry or location. Please note that it's crucial to consult with legal professionals or local labor authorities for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding labor laws and regulations, as they may have changed.
