Employer asking to reduce working hours forcefully
3 years ago
Due to covid 19 pandemic situation my employer asking me only to work 4 hour a day. But other employees he allow to work 8-9 hours i.e. full time. I want to work full time but he pressurized me to come only for 4 hours. Saying that he don't have money due to no business. Now what to do ? employer can do this ? what is the solution ?

A.Hi,
If any agreement had been agreed upon by both of you which gave him the right to exercise his powers of reducing your working hours, then its fine. Otherwise, you can file a suit against your employer for his said act under Industrial Disputes Act. Thank You

A.Hi,
If there was any clause in your employment contract which gave him the right to reduce your working hours, then he has the right to do the same otherwise in India, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (the Act) governs such arbitrary reductions in salaries/wages of employees. To provide it a legal sanction any such reduction in salary and working hours should be effected only after working out a mutually beneficial agreement between employers and employees. If nothing was decided between both of you, you can file a suit against your employer. Thank you
