As per the latest UP government order, if a woman worker refuses to work before 6 am and after 7 pm, she would not be terminated from employment.
In order to provide a safe environment for women at the workplace, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government on Saturday, in an order, stated that no women worker can be bound to do the night shift in factories across the state.
"No female worker shall be bound to work without her written consent before 6 am and after 7 pm. The authorities will also have to provide free transportation, food, and sufficient supervision if working during the aforementioned hours," said the government circular.
As per the order, if the woman worker refuses to work before 6 am and after 7 pm, she would not be terminated from employment.
The UP labour department issued the state order to notify the decision late Friday night. It makes it clear that women workers will not be compelled to stay back for work beyond 7 pm and would not be called to work before 6 am without their written consent.
