Readiness of the Hired in the Fixed Date and Eluding the Employer
Issue No.1870- If a person is hired to do a job on a particular day and is ready on that day to perform the task, the hirer should pay him the wages even if he does not entrust that task to him. For example, if a builder is hired to build a building on a fixed day, and he is ready to do work on that day but the hirer does not give him the work to do, he should pay the wages of the builder if he remains without work on that day. In this case however, if he works for himself or for another person, he should, as an obligatory precaution, get the balance from the owner of the first work provided that the wages of the second job is less than that of the first one.
