Legal working hours private sector

In my opinion, you will have to go through the Shops and Establishment Act of your state, i.e. if you live in Delhi, for instance, please refer to Delhi State and Establishment act.

You can thus know the laws about working hours, holidays, overtime rules, leaves etc.

8hrs/day, excluding breaks and 48 hrs/week.

Beyond which OT may apply. There is capping on OT hours.

Break is after 5hours.

Service industry is not sufficient narration.

Has the establishment issued/supplied, salary slips of all months, PF number and a/c slips of all

years, ESIC card,?

On a general note the working hours including lunch time is 9 hours per day. Some superior papers mention that anything above these timings should be considered as over time. Based on the company the OT can be 1.5 times or 2 times the original pay of the individual.
