What is maximum working hour per day/week/month in LLP company in Maharshtra?

Hi, I am working in a Real Estate Consulting company based in Pune, Maharashtra. It was a Pvt Ltd company before, which is now renamed to an LLP company. There is a new policy being implemented that states the number of working hours per day will be 9 hours from 10 AM to 7 PM, and work will be conducted 6 days a week, totaling 54 hours per week.

I have tried searching on forums, and most of them state that 9 hours a day and 48 hours a week is the maximum. I want my company to adhere to the proper laws to support the health and mental well-being of employees.

Could someone please provide me with the correct PDF and government website link for this law and guide me? I need an answer today as this policy will be effective from the 1st of January 2018.

Please also let me know what to do in case if an LLP company is forcing you to work for 54 hours a day and also making you do overtime without paying for it. What is the policy for overtime in an LLP company in Pune, Maharashtra.

Thank you.

Hi Mr. Neroyoung,

As per government rules, the maximum working hours per week are 48 hours, with a cap at 60 hours in a week. After 48 hours, we should pay double the salary/wage to the employees. It depends on the organization's policies. Some organizations set 8 hours as a standard workday, and if employees work more than 12 hours, the company will provide additional allowances such as food, lodging, overtime pay, etc.

In such situations, HR should handle certain matters confidentially.

Thanks & Regards, Nagarjun R Papas Trading Private Limited

Maximum working hours without overtime is 48 hours per week. Please reduce the lunch break taken per day to achieve the proper timeframe.

Dear Friend,

I have served with a Construction Company. Each company in the Infra/Constr sector typically has a 10-11 hour working day. Salaries in these companies tend to be on the higher side due to the long working hours. Normally, employees work in two shifts as tasks like cement curing and others need to be completed within those hours.

Hi,

We take a 45-minute lunch break and one short break of 10-15 minutes throughout the entire day. I read somewhere that after 5 hours of working, you are eligible for a 1-hour break, which is counted in the total working hours in a day, totaling 9 hours.

Subject to the other provisions of this Act, no adult worker shall be required or allowed to work in any establishment for more than nine hours in any day and forty-eight hours in any week. No adult worker shall be asked to work continuously for more than five hours unless he has been given a break of not less than half an hour. Provided that the working hours or weekly holiday may be relaxed in case of work of urgent nature with the previous permission of the Facilitator.

Where a worker in any establishment is required to work beyond nine hours a day or forty-eight hours a week, he shall be entitled, in respect of the overtime work, wages at the rate of twice his ordinary rate of wages. The total number of overtime hours shall not exceed one hundred and twenty-five hours in a period of three months.

Maharashtra Shops and Establishment Act

@Nathrao,

Can you please be kind enough to provide the act in which this is written or provide a link to it so I can share it with my superiors for a proper discussion?

Thank you.

Kindly Google Maharashtra Shops and Establishment Act, 2017.

This corrected version maintains the original message but corrects the spelling error in "Maharastra" to "Maharashtra" and adds the necessary comma after "Act". Additionally, I have ensured proper paragraph formatting with a single line break between the lines.

Thank you, Nathrao. I really appreciate this.
