Dear all,
Can women operators / employees / workers work in nights shifts. Is the factories act allowing night shift for female workers? Is their any rules to be followed or fulfilled to engage female workers in night shifts?
Kindly guide me.
With regards,

Hi,
The act has not been amended to allow the lady workers in the night shift i.e any time between 7.00 pm to 7.00 am.
However certain states subject to the discretions of the chief inspectors of factories have given relaxations to some industries to engage ladies till 10.00 pm, with strict guide lines about their security and arrangments of traport to drop them at doorsteps after the shift hours.
The call centers, hospitals and air line have been exempted from this and are not within the purview of the Factories Act.
Hence you would not be able to employ lady employees in the night shift.
Kind regards

If call centers, IT/ITES, hospitals and air line have been exempted from the purview of the Factories Act. Then which act governs the functioning of these bodies? Regards, Rahul Chhabra

Dear Mr. Dayanand L Guddin,
Thank you very much for the response. I have seen companies in SEZ 's operating night shifts with lady operators. That is why I have raised the doubt.

How about NGOs ? Most of the people in NGO are hired on contractual basis and it goes on for years aint that against the law as no organisation can keep contractual employees for more than 240 days in continuation. Pls confirm.

In a Land mark Judgement the Madras High Court has given permission to engage women workers in night shifts subject to fulfillment of certain conditions by the factories. Hence after the judgement, women workers could be seen working in night shifts i.e., 10.00 pm to 6.00 am.
