hi sir, as per the institute guidelines article working hour can not cross limit of 35 hour per week but in our firm they are taken work weekly around 60 hour, sir will you tell me any solution for this.
An articled assistant shall work 35 hours per week. The MIT / Principal may observe a 5 day week for articled trainees.
Therefore, per day working hour in a 5 day week works out to be 7 hours per day. The MIT / Principal may also work in a 6 day week schedule. In such a case, an articled assistant has to work at least 6 hours per day for 5 days and the balance 5 hours on the sixth day.
The working hours specified above should not be before 9.00 a.m. and after 7.00 p.m.
if an articled assistant is required to work beyond normal working hours, and aggregate of such hours exceed 35 hours per week (excluding lunch break), he/she shall be entitled to compensatory leave calculated with reference to number of completed working hours, over above, 35 hours per week.
If you are doing over and above 35 hours per week you can take leave on that basis.
