If working hours including Shift Overlapping time is less than or equal to 8 hours per day no need to intimate any Authority.

As of now running two shifts (A & B : 6 am to 2 pm and 2 pm to 10 pm), would like to change to 6 am to 2.30 pm and 2 pm to 10.30 pm), which is more than 8 hours including lunch break.

if shift is upto 06.00 to 02.00 is ok...no need to intimate anyone but are the employees are ready to accept this change?
hr.krishnakumar
There is a slight resistance. We wish to increase half an hour at the end of the shift. I doubt about legality and we don't have unions.
Prashant B Ingawale
There is no any legality issue.
