There is sometimes get confusion between the two terms viz.
"Lock-Out" and "Closure". Hence in this blog topic we will
try to explain what is meaning of "Lock-Out" and "Closure".
Lock-Out means the temporary closing of a place of employer,
whereas Closure means the permanent closing down of a place of employment.
In the case of Lock-Out, the employer closes the place of
business, whereas in the case of Closure the employer closes the business
itself.
Further, in the case of Lock-Out there is suspension of
work, whereas in the case of a Closure there is discontinuation of the
business.
Now, after explaining what is meaning of “Lock-Out" and
"Closure", there is one more question usually comes in mind of
individuals "if the employer shift the manufacture of one of its products
from one place to another, does it amount to closure? To answer this we can
take reference one of the decided case of Bombay High Court that shifting the
manufacture of one of several products from one unit to another does not amount
to closure of part of a place of employment.
Hope this small write up will give insight about pertained
subject.
