PAY FOR HOLIDAYS
FALLING ON SATURDAY ARBITRATION COURT RULING (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Mr Justice O’Regan has given an interpretation in the Arbitration Court of the part holiday clause in the Hawke’s Bay Local Bodies’ Labourers’ Agreement. He holds that workers should be entitled to be paid for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, which fell on Saturdays. The Court held that the fact that certain classes of workers might be called upon to work on Saturdays was not really relevant to the issue, the plain meaning of the clause being that the days named in it should be paid for, irrespective of the day on which they happen to fall.
