Break Time Rules in Maharashtra: How Long Should Employees Rest During a 9-Hour Shift?

Megha Joshi_409
As per the labor laws in Maharashtra, what should be the interval/break time given to employees who have a 9-hour shift in a day?

As per law, no employee shall work beyond 5 hours without an interval of rest of at least 30 minutes. Therefore, you can have a lunch break after 5 hours. I believe that your establishment works for 5 days a week; otherwise, the number of hours permitted per week will exceed 48 hours.

Okay. You can give breaks after 4 hours and 30 minutes, and that would be ideal.
