Curious About Office Hours? Share Your Mumbai Work Schedule Here!

Dear Friends,

We are frequently receiving requests for office hours and a 5-day work week at our Mumbai Corporate Office. I would like to know the current practices at other companies. Could you please share your office timings in this post to create a list?

Our office timings are as follows:
- Monday to Friday: 09:30 to 17:30
- Saturday: 09:30 to 16:00

Thank you for your cooperation!

Best regards

I think you'll find the answer to this quite ambiguous. Different companies operate at different hours, and ultimately, the business should strive to achieve what the customer wants.

For the purposes of an employment contract, you should clearly state the hours of work expected from the employee. This could follow two formats:

1) Your hours of work will be 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday, with an hour for lunch unpaid.

2) Core operating hours are 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. Your normal hours of work are 37.5 hours per week, with a minimum of half an hour each day taken for lunch. All breaks will be unpaid.

Option 1 is strict and allows you to be firm and provide a definitive answer to employees. This option is more suitable where strict opening times are crucial (such as in shops, call centers, suppliers, etc.).

Option 2 is more flexible and allows you and your staff to have flexibility with your hours of work. This option is better suited for jobs where customer opening times do not impact the product, such as cleaning, support work, and certain office jobs.

I hope this information helps. Please reply if you need further assistance.
