Employers request continuation of salary concessions: Minister denies request 

14 Sep 2020

By Maheesha Mudugamuwa Labour Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva rejected a request made by employers to extend the date granted for them to pay half-salaries or Rs. 14,500 till 31 December. At a meeting held with employers last week, the Minister instructed the employers to give evidence to prove their industries were still suffering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, as the Minister stressed that most of the industries, apart from tourism, were revived and had returned back to normal. Therefore, the Minister stressed that he would consider the request only if the respective employer could prove that their industry was yet to recover; the Minister would then submit a cabinet proposal in that regard. In the meantime, the Minister also instructed the Commissioner General of Labour to take immediate action on the complaints lodged with the Department on employment-related issues as a result of Covid-19. The Minister also asked the Department to provide the reasons for the delays in investigating each and every complaint.
