This is divided into 4-3 ratios per week. If you understand in simple language then there will be 4 days office, 3 days week off. If we look at its calculation, then the employees will have to work for 48 hours in 4 days i.e. 12 hours every day. Half an hour’s rest is also proposed to the employees after every five hours.
Overtime, impact on PF: If the employee works more than 48 hours in a week, then overtime will be paid. Basic pay should be 50% or more of the total pay. With the increase in basic salary, your PF will also increase. Due to this, the pension amount received after retirement will increase. At the same time, there is a proposal for incentives, medical insurance and other facilities in the Labor Code of the Central Government.
