Working hours for executives and managers

Yes

Employees in the cadre of Executive and Manager's expectation with respect to the annual increments and perks / incentives etc may be very high compare to the clerks / assistants / workmen, the respeonsibilities of these people will be high compare to the lower group hence they have to stretch and work on extended hours.

regards - kamesh

Some of the companies write the working days in a week and working hours in the appointment letter. It is believed that no company writes in appointment letter or does not mention in any circular that managers/executives have to stretch and work on extend hours.

If it is true that managers/executives have to stretch and work on extended hours, then can a company state so in writing? If yes then what communication can a company issue e.g. circular, office order etc? Can a company state so in standing orders, employee rule book etc?

Is there any law or citation available on this?

Kindly confirm. It shall help many.

Dear Shrikant,

Can you explain it in detail maximum hours factory head can work under the said act.

Mostly the executives and the managers are not come under the definition "employee" hence, the working hours as per Factories Act/Shops and Estt. Act will not attract against them

Read the Act carefully

Whether the Executives and Mangers fall under the purview of the Factories Act

If they fall , all rules therein will be applicable

If they do not , the Act will not be applicable

If you find difficulty , type here the exact Rule which stipulates the Max hours norms with the definition of  the Workers as defined there

Some companies issue guidelines by circular etc. that any employee if at all has to remain in office before or beyond office hours, or on off days/holidays, has to avail prior approval of local designated competent official which may be a Branch Manager/Cluster Manager/Regional or Zonal Manager. In such a case the employee has to make an entry in the register at the reception/with security staff.

Majority of the times it becomes an unwritten rule that managers/executives have to work for extended/stretched work hours, and is applied to even those employees who might have been assigned a decorated title of executive/manager e.g. private banks, telecom companies

A smart employee should deftly maintain   record of clocked work hours.
