Previous was max shift of 9 hours and max overtime of 75 hours per three months. Now it is 12 hour shifts with 145 hours of overtime per three months.
So yeah, this comes at 5x12 shifts.
- e12e 4y agoA point of comparison - in Norway employers need special dispensation to have workers work more than 100 hours overtime per year (with max 40 regular hours/week and five weeks paid vacation time).
- renewiltord 4y agoTrue, but Norway is an oil nation.
- qwytw 4y agoDenmark, Sweden and a bunch other countries in Europe that have similar rules (probably lower pay though...) are not.
- e12e 4y agoI believe that after a period of strong Norwegian krone - we're now back to normal, and pay is generally better in Sweden and Denmark.
- qwytw 4y agoyeah, interesting. Sweden is pretty close to Norway but Denmark is considerably ahead of Norway. Doesn't seem that a high GDP correlates than much with higher salaries in Norway's case (unlike in Switzerland)
- e12e 4y agoSo is Qatar. (apparently 48 hour week / 8 hour day - two weeks of vacation - overtime to be compensated 25% - unsure about limits?)
- jacooper 4y agoI mean worker rights in Scandinavian countries are rather the exception.
- heywhatupboys 4y agoScandinavia, especially Denmark, are known for having few labor laws. That's the point of the Danish model: few workers' rights
- vamega 4y ago> The legislation limits the maximum workweek to 48 hours, but also increases the number of overtime allowed to 145 over a three-month period from the previous 75 hours. A 5x12 shift would require 1/5 of the time to be classified as overtime. Indian labour laws seem to state that overtime must be paid at 2x regular wages. Almost seems like it would make sense to hire more people and have them work 4x12?
- sct202 4y agoIt depends on the benefits, taxes, training they pay for the incremental employees if it's worth it to plan for overtime or hire more people. Foxconn is a massive operation making a tiny profit margin thru contract manufacturing so if they're doing it this way, it probably makes sense for them.
