Women working in late nights

M'am, as far as I no there is no such law.

No I have done my hotel management and LLB both.was workin with marrriott,Taj and Sea princess....any job in the hotel industry is a thankless job....Call centres,Hotels,Airlines...Before gettin in this field u should be well versed with the fact that its not a 9 to 5 job....u canbe workin for 12 - 14 hours straight or even 24 hours straight...And night shift? there is nothin called day and night in hotels...But yes hotels like Marine Plaza in Mumbai always giving women Night shifts for safety....

While I was googling I have got some news stating that in Mumbai women are not allowed to work as bartender after 8.30 pm but I am not able to get any reliable source

I suggest you to go through The Factories (Amendment) Bill, 2005. I suppose the Acts restricts women working in late nights.

Yeah you are rite , Sec 66 states that women are not allowed to work after 7pm and in some cases after 10pm. Though I am unable to get the exact link, If you could find it, can you please share .Would be highly obliged

Well  I am looking out for such provision in Bombay Shops & Establishment as the fatories act is not applicable to hotel industry.

Dear Asha,

For an establishment to work beyond the stipulated timelines as prescribed under the Bombay Shops and Establishment Act, such establishment, has to have a special exemption uner the Act. Normally most IT / ITES companies prefer the same, and are granted exemption. 

I would suggest that i personally visit one of the Labour Offices in Bombay, (either at Parel or Bombay Central) and get the requite details. There are several do's and dont's, and procedural formalities, which those persons can be in a better position to explain. Also an greivances can also be put before them.

Yes even i have got the similar inputs from other sources. It's better we personally visit the labour office.In between if possible can you provide me the link  of Bombay Shops & Establishment website

Dear Asha,

Unfortunately, even though the Labour Department in Maharashtra is strong on the Ground and in implementation, it is not tech savy, and hence no web site is avaliable.

Ashish.

are you sure about the non existence of the website?

The Shops & Establishments of the respective state has specific restriction for women employees. They also have provisions for exempting a particular industry or a particular establishment on specific application, subject to stringent conditions viz. the lady employee should be provided transport facility with escort, etc. In Maharastra Section 33 of the Bombay Shops & Establishments Act, prohibits woman to work in any establishment after 9.30 p.m.. Please revert if you need the regulation for any other state.
