FilmIndia (1940)

FILMINDIA June 1340 "For example, if the hours of work are from 2-30 P.M. to after 10-30 P.M. an interval for rest of an hour must be given at 8-30 P.M. at the latest. If the hours of work are from 2-30 P.M. to between 8-30 and 10 30 P.M. an interval for the rest of half an hour must be given at 8-30 P.M. at the latest. But if the hours of work are from 2-30 P.M. to 8-30 P.M. sharp only, no interval for rest need be given." "The employees must be given at least one day in a week as a holiday, with full pay, the week to commence from any day that may suit the convenience of the employer. Accordingly a batch of employees may have Monday as a holiday, a second batch on Tuesday, a third batch on Wednesday, and so on till all the employees on the register have had the weekly holiday." "Young persons who are older than 12 but who have not completed their seventeenth year must not be employed after 7 P.M. and even then for not more than 42 hours a week or 7 hours per day including the interval for rest, the seventh day of the week being a holfday with pay." "Since it is the practice of most theatres to have morning shows on Sundays and Holidays, it must be borne in mind that even on these days the hours of work must not exceed 10 per day. If employees are called to attend at 9-30 a.m. on these days their work for the day, with the intervals for rest, must end at 11 30 P.M. But since the regular shows begin only at about 1-30 or 1-45 P.M., it would be advisable to call the smallest number of employees for the morning shows because of the necessity to let them off before the 14th hour of their day of employment is over. It should be noted that overtime work in places of entertainment is not allowed." "Every employer must exhibit in a prominent place the hours of work for the following week including the hours of attendance for morning shows. Any change in the notified hours of attendance must be notified to the Authorities 24 hours before the change comes into operation.'' DON'T MISS THESE 1.
