The Devendra Fadnavis government of Maharashtra on Wednesday increased the maximum working hours for private sector employees. The government has approved amendments in the laws in this regard to increase it from nine hours to 10 hours.
According to the statement of the state government, the main reason for the change in the law is to attract investment, create employment, and protect the rights of workers. Let us tell you that after the decision of the state government, those working in private companies will have to work 10 hours instead of 9.
The Fadnavis government approved the changes
In the cabinet meeting held in Maharashtra on Wednesday under the chairmanship of the state CM Devendra Fadnavis, the changes suggested by the central task force have been approved. Let us tell you that Maharashtra has now joined states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Telangana, where such reforms have already been made.
What will change from now on?
In a statement issued by the state government, it was stated that these amendments will be made in the Factory Act, 1948, and the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Service Conditions) Act, 2017.
Let us tell you that after the changes in these rules by the state government, the limit of working hours per day in industries will be increased from 9 to 12 hours. Apart from this, rest time will now be available after six hours instead of five hours. At the same time, the limit of legal overtime will be increased from 115 hours to 144 hours per quarter. However, written consent from the workers will be necessary for this. After the implementation of the law, the working hours will be increased from 10 and a half to 12 hours.
