Hi All. We run a process industry 24*7*365 manufacturing pharmaceuticals . Currently we run in 3 shifts a day of 8 hours each. I came across the concept of 12 hour scheduling wherein employees work 12 hours a day for 4 days a week in day and nights . They get 01 day off before two night shifts and 02 days off before a morning shift again- so a week looks like -- ddonnoo--
It seems ok surface that this a good type of schedule -- but I was wondering what kinds of things I should consider before proposing it to management.. Are their any legal issues involved if workers still work 48 hours a week? Any others issues I must consider? Do offer ur help.
Also I haven't heard of it being followed anywhere in India-- please let me know if u are aware.
Thanks
