CLERK AND DRIVER
Back Wages To Be Paid
Judge A. P. Blair has ruled in the Court of Arbitration that Westland Milk Treatment, Ltd., of Greymouth, must pay £123 5s 2d in back wages owed to Anne Teresa Bell who was employed by the firm as a clerk and truckdriver. The defendant company claimed that she was a casual worker when employed on driving duties, and had paid her according to the scale for casual workers“We hold that she was a weekly worker carrying out two distinct types of work," said the Judge. “Under these circumstances the situation is, we think, governed by the application of the principle of the indivisibility of the weekly wage.”
The claim was made on the worker’s behalf by the Inspector of Awards.
