Holidays.
|
3.—(1) In each year, an agricultural employer shall allow to an agricultural worker holidays to the following extent—
|
|
| |
(a) six holidays where the worker is continuously employed by him during that year, or
|
|
| |
(b) one holiday in respect of each period in that year of two months' duration during which the worker is continuously employed by him.
|
|
| |
(2) Where a worker is entitled to three or more holidays under this section, the holidays shall be allowed on consecutive days.
|
|
| |
(3) The holidays to be allowed in respect of any year or period in a year shall be allowed before the end of the year, and, if the employment terminates during the year, the holidays shall be allowed before it terminates.
|
|
| |
(4) Sundays and such half-holidays, Church holidays and public holidays as may be allowed to the worker by arrangement with his employer shall not be reckoned as holidays for the purposes of this Act.
|
|
| |
(5) Subject to the other provisions of this section, the worker and his employer may make such arrangements as they think fit for the allowance of holidays.
|
|
| |
(6) Interruptions of employment not exceeding in the aggregate eight days in any period of two months shall not be regarded as breaking the continuity of employment provided that the worker did not work for any other agricultural employer on those days.
|
|
| |
(7) Where a worker, instead of taking holidays which he is to be allowed under this section, remains at work with his employer's consent, the employer shall be deemed to have allowed the holidays to the worker if he pays him holiday remuneration in respect of them, in addition to wages, before the end of the year in which the holidays are to be allowed or, if the employment terminates during the year, before it terminates.
