Legal Implications Of 12 Hours Duty - Reg

Brijendra_Singh
Dear Uthiramoorthy H,

The definition of spread-over in the Shop and Establishment Act is: "Spread over" means the period between the commencement and the termination of the work of an employee on any day.

Extract of Section of Shop and Establishment Act is appended below:-

17. Spread-over in commercial establishments - The spread-over of an employee in a commercial establishment shall not exceed eleven hours in any day; Provided that the [State] Government may increase the spread-over period subject to such conditions as it may impose either generally or in the case of a particular commercial establishment or a class or classes of commercial establishments.

So, only eleven hours are allowed, instead of 12 hrs as you propose. Not Recommended. Is there a Plan 'B'?
