The Act amends the Factories Act, 1948 to introduce flexibility in working hours for factories in Rajasthan. It allows the State Government to extend daily working hours to ten, increase the spread over time to twelve hours, and permit six hours of continuous work without a break for specific factory groups. The legislation also permits overtime with worker consent and allows women to work in all types of factories, including early morning and late evening shifts, provided they give written consent and safety measures are followed. These changes aim to provide operational flexibility while maintaining worker safety and rights.
