Dear Seniors,
Yesterday I have heard that as per Shops and Establishment Act and Factory Act, an employee should get minimum 12 SL/CL and minimum 15 PL. Also, I have heard that an employer can not ask his employee to work for more than 48 hours in a week i.e. 8 hours per day (at an average). In case an employee is asked to work for 9 hours for 5 continous days then the employee has full rights to work for just 3 hours on the 6th day. Also, in case an employee works for more than his shift time then the employer will have to pay double amount of salary for his extra working hours. Now My question is:
1. Is the above mentioned statements true?
2. If yes, then is there any provision to give 12 PL (Vacations)?
3. Can an employer make 9 hours shift per day (6 days in a week) daily?
4. Can an employee take any action against my company's policy?
Please clear this problem because in my company, there are 10 national holidays, 12 Vacations and 6 Sick days. Shift time is 9:30 am to 6:00 pm (company is planning for 9 am to 6.30 pm). No other leaves are there like - maternit leaves, study leaves and all. Also, there is no thing that in case an employee has to work on his week off (for office work) then the employer will not be giving and extra/compensatary off..
Further, it would be great if you could tell me in detail about the minimum leave policy, working hours, week off and all... Also, what all other things are there which is mandatory for the company..
Please help seniors as the policy of my company is going to be implemented very soon.
