Doctrine of "no-work-no-pay" The doctrine of "no-work-no-pay" is a fundamental axiom in industrial relations. The philosophy are very simple. When a personis employed, it is expected that the work assigned will be carried out. When this work is not done, the employee is noteligible for payment of any salary.Even when a general strike or countrywide ban disrupts public transport systems, and consequently employees are unable to reach their workplaces, the same principle prevails. Even die-hard trade union leaders respect this principle of equity and natural justice. "No work, no pay" lays a strong foundation to industrial peace and harmony in the long run.
