Summary:
Weekly hours reduced from 24 to 8 1/2. She was given the choice of working either 3 days in every 3rd week or Fridays of every week. She opted for the latter. Last day worked: 13-5. First day of new schedule: 20-5. Validity of reg. 37(1) confirmed in HARTMANN.
By reading reg. 37(1), (2) and (2.1), it will be seen that a prescribed reduction in earnings can arise only in conjunction with illness, injury, quarantine, pregnancy or adoption. The Commisson has enacted no regulations for other circumstances. Reg. 37(1) then applies.
