New Delhi: The Modi government has asked all public and private companies to ensure that they do not cut salaries of their staff or resort to layoffs of their employees amid the lockdowns imposed to curtail the spread of COVID-19.
Secretary of the Labour Ministry, Heeralal Samariya, sent out an advisory, in the form of a letter, in this regard Monday. “The world is facing a catastrophic situation due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and in order to combat this challenge, coordinated joint efforts of all sections of the society is required,” the letter reads.
“In view of the above, there may be incidence(s) that employees’/workers’ services are dispensed with on this pretext or the employee/worker is forced to go on leave without wage/salaries,” it adds.
The government has advised public and private enterprises to not terminate the services or reduce the wages of their employees, particularly casual or contractual workers.
Bid to tackle crisis
As cases of COVID-19 rise in the country, several states have imposed lockdowns, restricting the movement of people even to their workplaces.
The advisory says that if any worker takes a leave, they should be deemed to be on duty without any deduction in wages. Doing so, the government has warned, would deepen the crisis.
“The termination of an employee from the job or reduction in wages in this scenario would further deepen the crises and will not only weaken the financial condition of the employee but also hamper their morale to combat their fight with this epidemic,” Samariya’s letter reads.
“In view of this, you are requested to issue necessary advisory to the employers/owners of all the establishments in the state.”

In this Banana republic everything is funny and exploitive to industries and businesses. After investing crores we have to obey the orders of misfits and freebooters who have never understood the problems of industries and businesses.
These guys have learnt to talk like goons always threatening businesses and industries to pay full wages to employees. What is Govt. contribution after 2014 to industries and businesses. Only torture in the name ache dins. This Govt. will not see goods days as I his Govt. has troubled everyone in this country except its friends. People ,businesses and industries are so frustrated with this tall talks ache din govt. which has screwed up everything that was good.
If this Govt. can do good to people,businesses and industries it can remain till people oust in the next elections. Otherwise should accept its failure to deliver the goods and must go. A country like India cannot be run pathetically like this.
