Illegal Strike Dilemma: Can Employers Enforce No-Work, No-Pay? Who Gets Notified?

Please clarify for me: if the employees are on an illegal strike, can the employer give a no-work, no-pay notice? To whom should the copy of the notice be submitted? If you have a template of the notice, kindly share it with me.

Dear Jagdish,

How do you determine if a strike by employees is illegal?

Once the strike is declared illegal by the appropriate authority, the principle of "no work, no wage" applies.

Dear Jagdish,

You may not be required to pay for the period of strike under the "No work, No pay" policy. However, whether the strike is legal or illegal cannot be determined by you. The decision regarding the legality of the strike must be made by the labor department upon receiving a complaint from either party.

Please inform the labor department in your area about this matter so they can take appropriate action.

Thank you.

Dear one,

I am working at a power plant in Karnataka, but the plant is shut down. My employer has given a notice stating that there is no work, and only half of the amount will be paid. Is this legal or not? How can I request to receive my full salary amount?

The locals of the area had closed our project demanding compensation for their houses damaged during construction by previous organizations, of which our principal contractor had clarified that all compensations had been paid or settled. Now, as new subcontractors, we are facing the brunt of a local populace strike possibly backed by one political party. Can we implement a "no work, no pay" policy, considering we have no work activities currently? Is "die no" applicable?

Thank you.
