According to the new rules of articleship/training.

If an article works more than 35 hours in a week, he must be eligible for the exemption of the training, for the next week , for that exess hours he/she works.

But no c.a accept it practically, as i m doing more than 42 hours training in a week.

I don't think you can convert extra working hours into leaves.

Rest assured that there's every chance that you'll be made to work far more than just 35-hours a week at most firms. Think of it as a recommendation and not a rule.

Many article assistants I know of, often work over the weekends and very late into the night.
