The National Security (Supplementary) Regulations are amended by adding at the end thereof the following regulation:—

Additional payment in respect of Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

“118.—(1.) Notwithstanding anything contained in any law, where an employee is entitled under any law to a holiday without deduction or loss of pay on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day or both, his employer shall, for Christmas Day 1943 or New Year’s Day 1944 or each of those days, as the case may be, pay to him, in respect of the pay period which includes the day for which payment is so to be made, whether or not the employee is required to work on that day—

(a) where the employee does not ordinarily work on a Saturday additional pay equivalent to the amount ordinarily payable to him for one full day’s work; or

(b) where the employee ordinarily works on a Saturday— additional pay equivalent to the difference between the amount ordinarily payable to him for one full day’s work and the amount so payable for work on a Saturday.

“(2.) In any case where the employee is required to work on Christmas Day 1943 or New Year’s Day 1944 or both, the payment required by this regulation to be made shall be in addition to the additional payment or other compensation to which he is entitled under any other law in respect of any work performed by him on either or both of those days, as the case may be.

“(3.) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this regulation, where an employee is entitled to a holiday on any other day in lieu of Christmas Day 1943 or New Year’s Day 1944, or to compensation by reason of either or both of those days falling within a period of annual leave taken by him, the provisions of the last two preceding sub-regulations shall not, in respect of either of those days in lieu of which the employee is entitled to a holiday on another day or for which he is so entitled to compensation, apply in relation to that employee.

“(4.) For the purposes of this regulation—

‘employee’ has the same meaning as in regulation 4 of the National Security (Holidays and Annual Leave) Regulations;

‘law’ means law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory of the Commonwealth and includes industrial award, order, determination or agreement”.
