The Factories (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 2015
These amendments by the Maharashtra State Government to the Principal Act of 1948 are a welcome step.
- Permitting women employees to work in factories during night shifts will not only promote gender equality but also lead to women's empowerment.
- The relaxation of compliance with respect to Sections 51 (Weekly hours), 52 (Weekly holidays), 54 (Daily hours), and 56 (Spread over) during exceptional pressure of work will bring much-needed flexibility in the functioning of the factories.
- Factory workers would become entitled to leave by working only for 90 days instead of the longer period of 240 days.
