I am a new member of this awesome forum and find the topics covered in it so very useful and practical. I am indeed very thankful to all the contributors to this forum and online community.
My questions is as follows :
1. Recently one has read in the papers that some major auto companies are closing their factories or production lines for 1 day a week or two days a week. Under what provision of which law do they do this ? Do they ask workers to just go home, not report for work and pay them wages for that day ( and deduct it out of their accumulated PL ) ? Or do they treat them as "laid off" and pay them 50% wages for the days that they are closed ?
2. In the factory that I advice, we have two classes of employees. One is workmen covered under a Long Term Settlement and the second is all others who are both office and managerial staff. Can I layoff employees who are workmen ( on 50% wages ) and ask the other to go on leave with wages and deduct it from their PL account ?
3. Layoff can be resorted to when "sales slow down"? Or only when there are no input RM for the manufacturing process?
