FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE WORKERS HAS NOT BEEN VIOLATED:

Under Sec. 33 it is mentioned that for overtime wages are to be paid at the rate of twice the ordinary
rates of wages of the worker. It mentions that the employer can take actual work on any day upto 9
hours in a 12 hours shift. But he must pay double the rates for any hour or part of an hour of actual
work in excess of nine hours or for more than 48 hours in any week. Sec. 14 of the Act mentions that
any worker whose minimum rate of wages are fixed with wage period of time, such as by hour, by the
day or by any such period and if a worker works more than that number of hours, it is considered to
be overtime. In case if the number of hours constituting a normal working day exceeds the given limit,
then the employer will have to pay him for every hour or for part of an hour for which he has worked in
excess at the overtime rate.
THE HIRE AND FIRE POLICY:
The dictionary meaning of the term hire is to engage or appoint somebody and dictionary meaning of
the term fire is to dismiss somebody, hence the term hire and fire means to engage or dismiss
somebody at will.
The hire and fire policy offers many advantages.
The fear of being fired inspires the worker to work well. Due to the fear of losing his job on under
achievement, the worker works efficiently for the organization. If he performs his job well, he will get a
new job easily. This will benefit both the employer and the employee. The company is free to fire
workers when their work is over. This helps the company to reduce its costs. It helps to improve
companys efficiency by firing the inefficient worker. Employers can freely recruit workers as and when
there is any requirement. Hire and fire will increase automation and mechanization and this will
improve quality and thus it is very favourable to the industry. It will provide new opportunities for new
employees or youth. It will raise the profitability of the companies since the company does not have to
incur any cost on employees who are not producing any output for the company.
