Section 23: Payment of remuneration to a part-time worker

23. Payment of remuneration to a part-time worker (1) Every employer shall pay to a part-time worker not less than the basic wage or salary prescribed in any enactment or specified in a collective agreement except where the enactment overrides the agreement, for his category or grade, whichever is the higher, calculated proportionately on the notional hourly rate and increased by not less than 5 per cent. (2) Where no basic wage or salary is prescribed in an enactment or specified in a collective agreement, every employer shall pay to a part-time worker not less than the basic wage or salary of a comparable full-time worker, calculated proportionately on the notional hourly rate and increased by not less than 5 per cent. (3) Any award made by the Tribunal on the basic wage or salary of a part-time worker shall supersede any enactment or collective agreement providing for such basic wage.
