What will be the terms of office hours and working days holidays applicable to articled assistant working abroad?

Regulation of training in terms of office hours and working days holidays will be
applicable as per local office timings and laws. However, requirements of total training
hours will be the same as applicable in India which are given hereunder:-
a) The working hours for the articled assistants shall be 35 hours in a week excluding
the lunch break.
b) The office hours of the Principal for providing article training to the articled
assistant shall not be generally before 9.00 a.m. or after 7.00 p.m.
c) The normal working hours for the articled assistant shall not start after 11.00 a.m.
or end before 5.00 p.m.
d) The working hours for the articled assistants should not exceed 35 hours in a week
excluding the lunch break and normally the articled assistant be required to work
during the normal working hours fixed for articled assistants.
e) In case of exigencies of work with Principal, an article assistant may be required to
work beyond his/ her normal working hours. However, under such circumstances,
the aggregate number of working hours shall not exceed 45 hours per week. The
requirement of work beyond 35 hours in a week should not be a practice but only
in exceptional circumstances.
Further, where the articled assistant is required to work beyond normal working hours,
and aggregate of such hours exceed 35 hours per week, he / she shall be entitled to
compensatory leave calculated with reference to number of completed working hours,
over and above 35 hours per week.
