96: Employer not liable for wages during lockout
or “When a boss locks workers out, they don't have to pay them unless the lockout isn't allowed.”
You could also call this:

“Rules about who can do the work of employees who are on strike or locked out”

When there’s a lockout or a legal strike, your employer can only get someone else to do the work of the striking or locked out workers in certain situations. Your employer can ask someone who already works for them to do the work, but only if that person wasn’t hired mainly to do the work of striking or locked out workers, and if they agree to do it.

Your employer can also hire or ask someone to do the work if it’s really important for safety or health reasons. But they can only do this work that’s needed to keep things safe and healthy.

Anyone who does the work of striking or locked out workers in these situations can only do it while the strike or lockout is happening.

If your employer doesn’t follow these rules, they can get in trouble. The Employment Relations Authority can give them a penalty for each person who does the work when they shouldn’t.
