For argument and understanding, a weekly off arises only after working for 6 consecutive days—be it a factory, shop, or establishment. When an employed person or a workman doesn't work for 6 consecutive days, where is the question of granting a weekly off?
Do both Acts mention weekly off for permanent and non-permanent employees separately?
I consciously mentioned "employed person" since it is so in the Shops and Establishment Act. Similarly, a workman under the Factories Act is anyone other than a) an apprentice under the 1961 Act, b) a manager as notified by the management/occupier, c) a welfare officer as notified, and d) a safety officer. It doesn't differentiate between permanent or non-permanent. Brainstorming, please.
