Hello everyone,
Currently, I am reviewing the HR policy in my company, and we have flexible working hours, with some female employees staying late until 8 pm. I want to know, as per the law, what are the working hours for female employees during the day shift. Can I set fixed office timings for female employees, such as from 9 am to 6 pm or 10 am to 7 pm?
Please advise and suggest.
Thanks,

Hello, Ms. Begum,
According to Sec. 66 of the Factories Act-1948, no women should be allowed to work between 7:00 PM and 6:00 AM. If your organization is covered under the Factories Act, then you should follow the same. Please check with the Shops and Establishment Act if your organization falls into that category.
