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.”

Indian govt is good in speaking a lot about the. welfare of the people and making laws only on papers but when it comes on their implementation…. No one is bothered about….. About 50% of the total private employees are being neglected… Some are told to stay at home and will call you after the situation goes well… As their is no work we are redicing the staff temporarily, will call you when work will go in flow… What about their families?
Stop making new policies, govt. Should look into this matter as soon as possible…who is responsible if their non implementation of orders???

The truth is that No body is helping in such situation, not also Modiji. They are just making such announcements but never ask us what our company is doing with us abt lockdown salary/ salary cut/ job loss. Comman man like us are much suffering & yet cant do anything.Regret Yaar.
My company denied to pay our salary since Feb. As we are asking so they denied due to lockdown and threatened us.
What we do now ? It’s a survival question for us. Anybody help . Govt email or contact no please share
Employers are also finding very difficult to pay salaries to their employees during lockdown, in spite of their best intentions to pay. I think 25%deduction in salary can be a win win situation for both. No Layoffs. These times of mutual cooperation will be remembered all life.

I think Government can workout a plan by allowing employer to set off salary paid to employees against the Income Tax / GST or can announce that 50% salary to be paid as there has been no business and same will be benefitted under tax
