Hey ****, sorry to hear about your sister's situation. In Punjab, there are specific labor laws regarding women's working hours:
- Women can't be forced to work beyond * PM (in some sectors, with government permission, this can extend to * PM).
- Employers must ensure a safe working environment.
Has your sister tried to address this issue with her employer directly?
yes many a times
