This query is on behalf of a close friend working in the Hotel industry. My friend has taken up employment in Operations function with one of the hotel aggregator company based out of Gurgaon.
She has observed that all hotels managed by her company the staff at such hotels at various locations work for 10 hours a day 6 days a week.
On questioning this practice as a contravention of labour laws she has been told that the hotel industry does not need to or follows the 8 hour/ 48 hours a week norm.
To the best of my understanding all hotels fall under shop and establishment act wherein any working hours above stated constitute OT at double the normal wage.
Thus how is my friends company the hotel aggregator violating the law.
Or
Am I wrong in my understanding completely.
Plz advice as we will be very thankful.
