1st Labor Consultation Room How to set up shift work
On June 4th, the Governor of Jakarta announced the response to the "transition period of large-scale social restrictions." I was allowed to work at the company, but there were some conditions set. One of them is ``dividing employees who come to work into two or more shifts.'' The Governor of Jakarta explained that, although it is not stated in the regulations subsequently issued, there will be a ``at least two-hour difference in working hours.'' Shift work is common in the manufacturing industry, but I think there are many companies in the non-manufacturing industry that do not apply shift work. How should I set up shift work to keep the number of employees coming to work at a time to less than 50%?
If you work 5 days a week, the maximum actual working hours per day is 8 hours. Therefore, the typical work schedule is 9 hours of work time from 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 17:00, and 8 hours of actual working time. If we divide this into two shifts and set the working hours to be at least two hours apart, we can easily imagine two shifts: 7:00 to 16:00 and 9:00 to 18:00. However, there is one thing you need to be careful about here. There is a rule in the labor regulations that states that employees must be given at least a 30-minute break after working for four consecutive hours. Therefore, if everyone had the same break time from 12:00 to 13:00, those who started at 7:00 would work 5 hours in the morning, and those who started at 9:00 would work 5 hours in the afternoon, which would be a violation.ですから7時からの勤務の人は休憩時間を11時からとし、9時からの勤務の人は13時からの休憩時間としなければならなくなります。
「そんなことをすると全員が一緒に働いている時間は9時から11時と14時から16時の4時間しかない。会議もやりにくいし、非効率だ。」という声が聞こえてきそうですね。 In that case, why not consider taking a small break in between? The key point of the above regulations is "4 hours of continuous work."ですから午前10時から10分間と午後3時から10分間休憩時間を設定し、昼食時の休憩時間を40分にするなどは可能ではないでしょうか。もしくは7時からの勤務の人は午前中に、9時からの勤務の人は午後に10分間の休憩を取り、昼食時の休憩時間を50分とするバリエーションも考えられます。 You need to consider a work style that is appropriate for your working situation.
