Section Text
No compensation shall be paid to
a worker who has been laid-off---
(i) if he refuses to accept any alternative employment in the same establishment from which he
has been laid-off, or in any other establishment belonging to the same employer situate in the same
town or village or situate within a radius of eight kilometres from the establishment to which he
belongs, if, in the opinion of the employer, such alternative employment does not call for any special
skill or previous experience and can be done by the worker, provided that the wages which would
normally have been paid to the worker are offered for the alternative employment also;
(ii) if he does not present himself for work at the establishment at the appointed time during
normal working hours at least once a day;
(iii) if such laying-off is due to a strike or slowing-down of production on the part of workers in
another part of the establishment.
