NEW DELHI: The Centre may soon come up with a new labour code which will allow employees to work a maximum of 48 hours per week or 4 days in a week.
Union labour secretary Apurva Chandra said on February 8 that this provision will comprise a work limit of 48 hours per week, adding that organisations would have three choices - deploying employees for four days at 12 hours per day, five days at around 10 hours per day and six days at eight hours per day.
