Does Section 25-C give the employer any right to lay-off a workman?

The employer has the right to lay-off a workman and he gets this right from either the Contract of Service or the Standing Orders and not from the provisions of Section 25-C.  However, Section 25-C does give the laid-off workman the right to claim lay-off compensation.
