Dear all, I would appreciate it if someone could provide information about the working hours in a three-shift system. If management requires a 9-hour workday for 6 days a week for trainees, and a 5-day work week for regular employees, please confirm whether this includes or excludes lunch time. Additionally, does the working hour begin when an employee enters the factory, or is it based on punch-in time? Thank you in advance for your valuable input.

The working hours in a three-shift system, as well as the inclusion of lunch time and time-keeping, can vary based on the company\'s policies and the country\'s labor laws.
In India, the Factories Act 1948 typically governs these areas. According to this law, an adult worker shall not be employed for more than 48 hours in any week and not more than 9 hours in any day. However, this does not include rest intervals.
So, if your management requires a 9-hour workday, it should typically include a 1-hour lunch break making the actual working time 8 hours a day. Similarly, for a 5-day work week, if it\'s a 9-hour day, it should include the break.
Regarding the commencement of working hours, it is generally based on the punch-in time rather than the time of entering the factory premises. However, it\'s common practice for companies to allow a certain grace period for employees to clock-in without it affecting their working hours.
Please note that these are general guidelines, and the specifics can vary based on your company\'s policies and any agreements they may have with their workforce. For exact details, it\'s recommended to refer to your company\'s Employee Handbook or HR policies. If you\'re still unclear, you may want to discuss it with your HR representative.
