What compensation will a workman get when laid off?
Whenever a workman (other than a badli workman or a casual workman) whose name is borne on the muster rolls of an industrial establishment employing 50 or more workmen on an average working day and who has completed not less than one year of continuous service under an employer laid off, whether continuously or intermittently, he is to be paid by the employer for all days during which he is so laid off, except for such weekly holidays as may intervene, compensation which shall be equal to fifty per cent of the total of the basic wages and dearness allowance that would have been payable to him had he not been so laid-off.
