EMployees at common soldier establishments in Maharashtra may before long escort an growth in extra time shifts and the time they are allowed to work at a stretch. These proposals are part of the state's labour department's five major changes to the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017.A proposed amendment states that an adult be allowed to work over six hours at a stretch only if a half-hour break is included. This proposal indicates an increase in the longest stretch an employee works, which is currently five hours.Besides, the current overtime period of 125 hours in three months may also be increased to 144 hours. This is likely because the state is reportedly mulling increasing the current total working hours of 10.5 hours a day (including 0.5 hours of overtime) to 12 hours instead.However, in case of urgent work, this proposal on total working hours would be removed, which means there would be no maximum cap on shift timings.“The ministers wanted more clarity on provisions and their impact and hence the decision was put on hold today,” a senior minister said on condition of anonymity.If amended, the rules of the 2017 legislation would apply to private establishments with 20 or more employees, as opposed to the current 10 or more employees mandate.Longer working hoursIt was earlier reported that staff at private establishments in Maharashtra may soon see longer working hours, with the government planning to make changes to the 2017 legislation.The daily working hours, currently set at nine hours, may be increased to 10 hours. The legislation regulates working hours for employees in places such as shops, hotels and entertainment venues, among others, across Maharashtra.The Maharashtra labour department presented the proposal before the state cabinet on Tuesday, but the cabinet has sought more clarity on the matter, people familiar with the matter told HT.(Inputs from HT correspondent)
