It is not the constitution of the establishment as to whether it is a public limited company, private limited company, cooperative society, partnership or proprietory form that decides the working hours, leaves and other service conditions of the employees but it is the labour laws applicable to the kind of business being transacted that decides these matters. As such, factories where manufacturing process is being carried out will have to follow rules prescribed under the Factories Act, Mines have to follow Mines Act, Plantations have to follow service rules prescribed under the Plantations Labour Act and those which are in service sector will have to follow the leave and working hours as prescribed in the Shops and Commercial Establishments Act.

Different Acts have set out different rules pertaining to hours of work and the spread over of work with slight changes as applicable to the respective state. Shops and Establishments Act being a state Act is confined only to that state whereas the other Acts are central Acts and will be similar in many respect subject to state rules attached thereto.

For proper guidance the industry your establishment represents is required to be known.
