HOLIDAY "BONUS"
EMPLOYERS TO APPEAL
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 6. It is the intention of the New Zealand Employers' Federation to undertake the defence of any employers who are prosecuted as a result of the judgment of Mr. J. H. Luxford, S.M., in the holiday "bonus" case in Wellington recently, in which the Magistrate ruled that clothing trade employees who had been paid their wages in full for a working week were entitled to payment for a prescribed holiday under the Factories Act, on which ordinarily they would not have worked. A statement to this effect was made by Mr. J. S. Dawes, president of the Auckland Employers' Association, who .said the assistant secretary had been instructed to circularise members accordingly. Mr. Dawes gave the information that an appeal against the Magistrate's judgment in the case brought in Wellington,' and which affects employers in.other trades under the Factories Act, would be .lodged in due course.
