EXPLANATORY NOTE
The effect of this Order is to increase with effect from 5th November, 1973 the prescribed minimum rates of wages payable to male and female agricultural workers.
6. Where for any district a rate of wages (hereinafter referred to as the winter rate) is fixed by this Order in respect of work done by an agricultural worker in winter and a different rate (hereinafter referred to as the rate for the remainder of the year) is fixed by this Order as the rate of wages in respect of work done by such agricultural worker during the remainder of the year, then for the purpose of calculating the amount of any sum payable as wages to such agricultural worker for work done partly in winter and partly during the remainder of the year, the winter rate shall be the rate of wages for so much of such work as may be done in winter, and the rate for the remainder of the year shall be the rate of wages for so much of such work as may be done during the remainder of the year.
7. Where an agricultural worker for whom an overtime rate is prescribed by this Order is allowed a holiday under the Agricultural Workers (Holidays) Acts, 1950 to 1969, he shall be regarded as having completed nine hours work on that holiday for the purpose of computing the wages, if any, payable to him for overtime in the week in which the holiday is allowed.
