We would like to introduce an overlapping shift system (30 minutes) due to shift handover and taking over issues. Is it required to get approval from the Factories Department?
As of now, we are running two shifts (A & B: 6 am to 2 pm and 2 pm to 10 pm). We would like to change the timings to 6 am to 2.30 pm and 2 pm to 10.30 pm, which is more than 8 hours, including the lunch break.
Your query will be covered by a reading of Chapter 4 of the Factories Act, 1948. Sections 51 to 56 will be relevant here.
Thank you!
