Fifteen day's wages
Fifteen day's wages, In any factory it is well known that an employee never works and could never be permitted to work for all the 30 days of the month. He gets 52 Sundays in a year as paid holidays and, therefore, the basic wages and dearness allowance are always fixed by taking into consideration this economic reality ..... A worker gets full month's wages not by remaining on duty for all the 30 days within a month but by remaining on work and doing duty for only 26 days. The other extra holidays may make some marginal variation into 26 working days, but all wage boards and wage fixing authorities or tribunals in the country have always followed this pattern of fixation of wages by this method of 26 working days, Digvijay Woollen Mills Ltd. v. Mahendra Prataprai Buch, AIR 1980 SC 1944: (1980) 4 SCC 106: (1981) 1 SCR 64....

Actio personalis moritur cum persona.
Actio personalis moritur cum persona. A personal action dies with the person, i.e., the right to sue is gone. 'As if battery be done to a man, if he who did the battery or the other die, the action is gone' (Noy, 9th Edn., p. 20). This maxim states the general rule that actions of tort are destroyed by death of either the injured or the injuring party. Besides the statutory exceptions mentioned below, an action may be brought by the personal representatives of a deceased person for injury done to his property in his lifetime. It has also been applied to actions arising out of contracts of a purely personal nature, e.g., promise to marry, Finley v. Chirney, (1880) 20 QBD 494, or to write a book or paint a picture, See Leake on Contracts; Broom's Max.; Twycross v. Grant, (1877) 4 CPD 40; Phillips v. Homfray, (1993) 24 Ch D 439; and Jones v. Simes, (1890) 43 Ch D 607 as to injunction.This rule of the Common Law has been encroached upon by various statutes; by 4 Edw. 3, c. 7, as to trespas...

A wrongful dismissal is an unjustifiable dismissal of a servant by the master from an engagement for services for a fixed time or, if upon notice, before expiration of the period of notice.

Measures, (1910) 2 Ch 248, in which case he can recover wages actually earned on a quantum meruit [see Cutter v. Powell, (1795) 6 Term Rep 320, and Notes, Sm. L.C.], or if he treats the contract as continuing, he may sue for damages for loss of service and such wages as he has lost the opportunity of earning, taking into account the probability of finding another employment of the same kind and degree [see Brace v. Calder, (1895) 2 QB 253], but he cannot sue for a quantum meruit as well as on the contract.
