Hi Chintan,
The working hours for the articled assistants should not exceed 35 hours in
a week excluding the lunch break and normally an articled assistant be
required to work during the normal working hours fixed for articled
assistants.
In case of the exigencies of work with the Principal, an articled assistant
may be required to work beyond his/her normal working hours. However,
under such circumstances, the aggregate number of working hours shall not
exceed 45 hours per week. The requirement to work beyond 35 hours in a
week should not be a practice but only in exceptional circumstances.
Further, where the articled assistant is required to work beyond normal
working hours, and aggregate of such hours exceed 35 hours per week,
he/she shall be entitled to compensatory leave calculated with re ference to
number of completed working hours, over and above, 35 hours per week.
