Employer to provide work

Every employer shall, unless the worker has broken his contract of service or the contract is frustrated or its performance prevented by act of God, provide the worker with work in accordance with the contract, during the period for which the contract is binding, on a number of days equal to the number of working days expressly or impliedly provided for in the contract, and if the employer fails to provide work as aforesaid he shall pay to the worker, in respect of every day on which he shall so fail, wages at the same rate as if the worker had performed a day’s work. 32
