WARN Act: While Utah does not have a state-specific WARN Act like some other states, it adheres to the federal WARN Act requirements. This act mandates that employers with 100 or more employees provide at least 60 days' notice of significant plant closings or mass layoffs.
Rest Breaks in Utah It is under the discretion of employers in Utah to provide a 15-minute compensated rest break for every 4 hours worked.
Utah Scheduling Notice Law Unlike some states that have enacted predictive scheduling laws requiring a minimum notice period (such as 7 or 14 days), Utah does not impose such requirements. Employers in Utah have the discretion to modify work schedules as needed, provided they comply with federal labor laws.
Employers cannot require minors under the age of 16 to work during school hours, work more than four hours before and after school hours, work more than 8 hours in a 24-hour period, work before 5 a.m. or after p.m. unless the next day is not a school day, work more than 40 hours in a week.
Utah is an employment-at-will state, which means that without a written employee contract, employees can be terminated for any reason at any time, provided that the reason is not discriminatory and that the employer is not retaliating against the employee for a rightful action.
Utah has no specific limitations on the number of hours a salaried employee can work in a week. Overtime compensation is only eligible if an employee's worked hours reached 40 in a workweek. If an employee works beyond 40, they are entitled to time-and-a-half for any hours worked beyond 40.
India's labour laws underwent a major update in the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947. Since then, an additional 45 national laws expand or intersect with the 1948 act, and another 200 state laws control the relationships between the worker and the company.
An adult (over 18 years of age) cannot work for more than 48 hours in a week and not more than 9 hours in a day. Further, the spreadover should not exceed 10½ hours. Otherwise, the overtime rules are applicable.
The working day of an adult (unskilled/semi-skilled/skilled) worker should be inclusive of the interval of rest – it shall not exceed 12 hours on any day.
