Please suggest to me about the working hours. My boss says that employees need to work from 9 am to 6 pm, which amounts to approximately 9 hours a day (including a 1-hour break). We are currently working 6 days a week. Is this correct, or should we consider framing a new working hours policy?

Clarification on Working Hours
Beforehand, please let the forum know whether the company falls under the S&E Act or the Factories Act. Secondly, what is the query if your boss mentions the working hours are 8 hours, excluding the lunch break, and in a week of 6 days, it is 48 hours? So, what do you require the forum to guide you on, whether your boss is correct or not?
Yes, your boss is correct; the timing can be from 9 to 6 (9 hours), including a break of 1 hour.

Query on Employee Working Hours
My query is: Is it valid to have my employees working for 9 hours (including a 1-hour lunch break) at my company? My company operates in the electrical and software-based industry.

Yes dear it is very much valid, the term itself says working hour and not rest hours, so you have to count the working hours of the week/day. I hope this clarifies your doubt
