(4) If a rest day falls within the period of 7 consecu- tive days of absence from work specified in subsection (3), it shall be counted as annual leave and another rest day shall be substituted in accordance with section 18(5).

(5) No period of total incapacity for work by reason of sickness or injury occurring during a period of annual leave shall count as part of that annual leave unless it commences after the commencement of the period of annual leave.

41B. Where an employee is granted any period of annual leave, the employer shall pay him annual leave pay in respect of that period not later than the day on which he is next paid his wages after that period.
