The book is on “no work no pay” in the banking industry. As a matter of fact the contents of the book are applicable to all the industries with special reference to banking industry. The term ‘industry’ infuses a contractual relationship between the employer and the employee for sale of products and services which are produced through their cooperative endeavor. This contract together with the need to put in efforts in producing goods and services imposes duties (including ancillary duties) and obligations on the part of the employees to render services with the tools provided and in a place and time fixed by the employer. And in return, as a quid pro quo, the employer is enjoined to pay wages for work done and or for fulfilling the contract of employment. These subjects are dealt with in first four chapters. Duties generally, including ancillary duties, additional duties, normal duties, emergency duties, which have to be done by the employees and payment of wages therefor, are dealt with in chapters five and six. Where the contract of employment is not fulfilled or work is not done as prescribed, the principle of ‘no work no pay’ is brought into play. There can be individual cases or cases of groups of employees acting under a common understanding who refuse to perform the allotted work or who refuse to fulfill the contract of employment, as for example refuse to wear the uniforms provided by the employer. Or there could be cases where the employer does not want the employee to work. These instances can be multiplied. There could be instances where even employee dismissed from the service may have to be paid wages. What are those circumstances? What happens in a situation of go-slow or work to rule. What happens if there is a strike or a lockout? What if the strike is followed by a lockout or a lockout by a strike? When is a strike or lockout illegal? What happens if there is suspension of operations? Will the principle of ‘no work no pay’ apply in all these circumstances? These and other related issues are dealt with in chapters 7, 8 and 9. In the concluding chapter the author deals with the issue of unjustified strikes and lockouts. The author has relied on, analyzed and explained the various provisions of laws applicable as also the many High Court and Supreme Court judgments including those delivered in the year 2007. This book will prove to be invaluable not only to those who are connected with banking but also to academicians, lawyers, employers and unions in general.
