I am a shop worker in Dhanbad and my employer does not give me a weekly off, what does the law say?

Shop and establishment workers are protected by the Jharkhand Rent Control Act 2016 shops and establishments Act of your state. Every employee is entitled to a weekly off of at least one full day, and the employer cannot require you to work continuously for more than 10 days in Dhanbad. The Jharkhand High Court has held that denial of weekly off is a violation of the statutory right to rest and can be remedied by approaching the Labour Inspector. If you are required to work on your weekly off, you must be given a compensatory holiday within three days. The employer must display a notice specifying the weekly off day for each category of employees. Non-compliance attracts penalty under the state-specific Act.
