Maharashtra government staff will now have 5-days work per week

Maharashtra government staff will now have 5-days work per week

Maharashtra government employees will now have 5-days work per week. The decision taken by state government employees will come into effect from February 29. State government employees had a 6-day work week prior to this decision with alternate Saturdays off. The employees were having 2nd and 4th Saturday off and they had to work full-time on 1st and 3rd Saturday.

The five-day workweek is already in effect for employees of the Central Government. State employees unions in Maharashtra have been demanding such a provision for them for years. Maharashtra State Cabinet paid heed to employee demands and took the decision in the cabinet meeting held on February 12.

Five-day work-week is definitely going to help state government employees achieve a good work-life balance. But 5-day week may compel the government to increase work-hours on weekdays. Government offices open at 10 am currently. But if working hours are increased, they may start at 9. Daily working hours may increase beyond the current limit of 8. However, there hasn't been a clear announcement on this as yet.
