Hi,
As per Fctories Act, employee can work maximum 48 hrs in a week i.e. 8 hrs in a day and for 6 days max. every after sixth day, there must be an holiday to that employee. So if followed this, for assuming 4 weeks in a month, he needs to work 192 hrs in a month.
However, for maximum working hrs, there are different concepts under the Factories Act. For certain industries, which are specifically mentioned in the schedule attached in the Factories Act, there is exumption of maximum working hrs i.e. 48 hrs in a week & 8 hrs in a day. In that case, the employee can work for more than one shift i.e. for 16 hrs in a day (continuing 2 shifts).
I with, I have cleared you doubt
