Hi all,
The company where I work operates for 5 days (Monday to Friday) a week on a 1-shift basis from 9 am to 6 pm. Due to business exigencies at quarter-end, we called in 2-3 workers for 3 days with changed timings (2 pm to 10 pm instead of 9 am to 6 pm). We are not exceeding the daily or weekly limits of work hours in any way.
Does this situation fall under the 9A clause of the Industrial Disputes Act - Notice of Change? Do we need to inform the factory inspector about the same through a notice?
Kindly assist with the format.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Dear Mr. Mahesh,
If you have not changed the total hours of work per day or total hours of work per week, section 9A is not applicable. I presume that you have asked your employees to come on a different shift than what they are used to attending. This change does not fall under section 9A unless there is an increase in the daily or weekly hours of work.
With regards,
