There is no such restriction regarding continuous engagement of workmen during night shift. It depends on the company policy but considering the principles of employee welfare which calls for keeping a balance between work and personal life, it is always advisable that night shifts shall be changed after every week or at least in every fortnight.

If there is no provision in law for no. of night shifts to be allotted to individual worker in a month, for company operating round the clock, then Manager may misuse the power to harass worker who is on target of him. He can give him worker 26 nights in a month.
