| Decision |
The appeals were dismissed as both parties failed to make a case for interference with the Authority's findings. The court established that the Locoshed Pakpattan qualified as a factory under the Factories Act, 1934, thus the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 was applicable. The appellant's claims regarding the nature of employment and calculation of overtime were found to be unsubstantiated. The respondent's claim for compensation and costs was also denied due to lack of evidence of extraordinary loss. The court upheld the Authority's order for payment of overtime wages and dismissed both appeals. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Labour Appellate Tribunal addressed appeals concerning overtime wages claimed by Mr. Intisar Ahmad, a Wireman at the Locoshed Pakpattan. The case revolved around the applicability of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, and the definition of a factory under the Factories Act, 1934. The Tribunal concluded that the Locoshed was indeed a factory, thus entitling the respondent to overtime wages for hours worked beyond the standard 8-hour day. The appellant's arguments against the claim were dismissed as they failed to provide convincing evidence. The decision reinforced the rights of railway employees under labor laws, emphasizing the significance of proper wage compensation. The ruling also highlighted the importance of adhering to established labor regulations, ensuring fair treatment of workers. Overall, the Tribunal's decision serves as a precedent for similar cases in the labor sector, promoting compliance with labor standards and the protection of worker rights. |
