Salary Delays and No Rest Days: What Legal Rights Do Chandigarh Government Workers Have?

Dear Seniors,

Some employees (male and female) with a strength of around 450 work on basic contracts under the Government sector in Chandigarh and receive DC rates under a contractor who is responsible for the work, attendance, wages, and working hours (8 hours) there.

Current Issue: Salary Delays and Work Conditions

However, the contractor is currently facing challenges in paying salaries on time. He has requested them to work for 7 consecutive days without any rest. In light of this situation, we seek guidance on which act applies to them and what legal rights these workers have. Additionally, please advise on whom the workers should contact for support.

Your assistance in clarifying these matters is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
