Dear Team, could you please provide guidance on how many hours per day we are allowed to engage Mathadi laborers, given that we are paying them minimum wages? This is in relation to the Nagpur and Wardha District Mathadi Board. If there are any circulars or official documents about this, kindly share them.

The working hours for Mathadi laborers (or any other workers) in India are governed by the Factories Act, 1948, and the respective state laws.
As per the Factories Act, no adult worker shall be required or allowed to work in a factory for more than 48 hours in any week, and no adult worker shall be required or allowed to work in a factory for more than 9 hours in any day. If you are engaging Mathadi workers in the state of Maharashtra, the Maharashtra Mathadi, Hamal, and other Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Act, 1969 would apply.
However, this is a broad guideline, and specific hours may vary depending on the nature of work, the agreement with the union, and other such factors.
Please refer to the Maharashtra Mathadi, Hamal, and other Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Act, 1969 for more details about the working hours and other conditions of employment of Mathadi workers. The Act is available on http://www.bareactslive.com/MAH/MH153.HTM.
It is always advisable to consult with a legal expert or the local labor department to ensure full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
Remember, respecting labor laws not only helps avoid legal complications but also contributes to a healthier and more productive working environment.
