How long can we keep interns as part of the organisation in the same capacity ? I know the background to why a company hires interns and what interns are for and when they need to be hired etc.... the issue is I just joined an organisation and it looks like they have interns who have been doing their internship/ projects for 12 to 16 months. Are there any legal concerns/ issues that might arise ? what is the maximum period to have interns work as interns ( i know its not right for they are working).. if so what ? and pointers would be of great help.
