LEGAL SUPPLEMENT No. 2. 1 DECEMBER, 1967. L.N. 189/67.
4. Regulation 11 of the principai egulations prescribes the maximum permissible overtime employment of women and young persons in indus- trial undertakings. This regulation will also be revoked and replaced on the 1st day of December in 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971, with the effect that the progressive increases in permissible overtime will come into operation on those dates. Regulations 4, 7, 9, 11 and 13 of these regula- tions effect the progressive revocation and replacement of regulation 11 of the principal regulations.
5. Regulation 9A is a transitional provision. It comes into opera- tion progressively, under regulations 3, 6, 8, 10 and 12 of these regulations, on the 1st December in 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971, respectively. Its effect is to vest in the Commissioner a discretion to apply to an industrial undertaking for a period of six months from the date on which it progressively comes into operation the relevant provisions of regulation 9 of the principal regulations in operation immediately preceding its date of commencement.
The purpose of regulation 9A is to afford the proprietor of an under- taking a period of six months in which to adjust the administration of the undertaking to accord with the progressively reduced hours of work and periods of employment.
For the first two years of the phased programme introduced by these regulations, where an application is granted by the Commissioner under regulation 9A, the period of overtime permitted under regulation 11 will be limited to one hour per day for the period from 1st December 1967 to 31st May 1968 and to one and a half hours per day for the period from 1st December 1968 to 31st May 1969. The effect of these provisions is to ensure that the maximum hours of work, including overtime employ- ment, will at no time exceed the present maximum of eleven hours in any day.
6. Regulation 10 of the principal regulations provides that a pro- prietor of an industrial undertaking is required to fix the period of employment of women and young persons in the undertaking and also the intervals for meals or rest for such women and young persons. It is proposed to prohibit any increase of the hours of employment or any reduction of the intervals for meals or rest for women and young persons employed in the undertaking from those fixed by notice and in effect on the 1st day of October 1967. The Commissioner, however, shall have a discretion to consent to the variation of the fixed period of employment or the intervals for meals or rest in any industrial undertaking where an application is made to him under the proviso to paragraph (3) of regula- tion 10. This amendment is effected by the insertion into regulation 9 of paragraphs (3) and (4).
7.
The relevant date of commencement of each of the regulations is set out in regulation 2 of these regulations.
