Good evening to all,
We have three shifts working, i.e., 6 AM to 2 PM; 2 PM to 10 PM, and 10 PM to 6 AM. However, our manufacturing plants are located quite far from the city. Therefore, employees are virtually spending 4 hours traveling to and fro, and 8 hours on duty, totaling 12 hours daily. Employees are feeling taxed. Transportation is arranged by the company.
We are now considering a 12-hour shift instead of an 8-hour shift, which would involve two shifts operating instead of three, with employees having every alternate day off. We would appreciate your comments on whether this change is acceptable from legal and operational standpoints.
