The disabled persons employed against any post shall be entitled to the terms and conditions which are not less favourable than those of the other persons employed by the establishment against similar posts. An establishment which does not employ a disabled person as required, shall pay in to the Funds each month the sum of money, it would have paid as salary or wages to a disabled person, had he been employed.
