Hyundai suspends third shift operations till June 19

Hyundai resumed plant operations in two shifts from May 31.

Hyundai has suspended its third shift from May 31 till June 19, 2021. The decision was taken in view of the current Covid-19 situation. Third shift operations will resume from June 21.

According to Hyundai, the suspended third shift operations will be treated as 50% paid holidays and 50% compensatory holidays. The employees would therefore have to compensate for 9 shifts.

The company resumed plant operations in two shifts from May 31 following a week-long shut down due to rising Covid-19 cases.

The state of Tamil Nadu has seen a spike in Covid-19 cases over the last few weeks. In the wake of this, other manufactures like Ford, Renault-Nissan and Yamaha had also suspended operations at their factories.
