Well, this is a chartered accountant office
Very few ca offices work 5 days
The emoloyees know what they are getting into and join knowing their work,load.
Yes, they are working overnight at times, but did you count the number of time they are leaving early (mostly from client locations) during non-peak period ? It's in the nature of work they are doing.
The management is not going to listen to your request for more Saturday off
None of the arguments are going to work, and you will get into the bad books of your bosses unnecessarily. You will have to tell the concerned emoloyees that it's not granted and they have to live with it.
E shop and establishment act does not apply to a chartered accounting firm. So the 48 hours a week rule does not apply either. If you go to the institute as someone suggested, you will end up being a laughing stock and will definately lose your job
