Legal Implications Of 12 Hours Duty - Reg

Dear Uthiramoorthy H
Defination of spread-over in shop & establishment act is :
"Spread over" means the period between the commencement and the termination of the work of an employee on any day;
Extract of Section of Shop and Establishment act is appended below:-
17. Spread-over in commercial establishments.-The spread-over of an employee in a commercial establishment shall not exceed eleven hours in any day;
Provided that the [State]Government may increase the spread- over period subject to such conditions as it may impose either generally or in the case of a particular commercial establishment or a class or classes of commercial establishments.
So, only eleven hours are allowed, instead of 12 hrs as you propose. Not Recommended. Is there a Plan 'B'?
