6(4)
An employee shall be granted for rest day, wages calculated at the rate applicable to the previous working day; where he works on the rest day and has been given a substituted rest day, then, he shall be paid wages for the rest day on which he worked, at the overtime rate and wages for the substituted rest day at the rate applicable to the previous working day: Provided that in case of six-days working week where–
6(4)(i) the minimum rate of wages of the employee as notified under the Code has been worked out by dividing the minimum monthly rate of wages by twenty- six; or (ii) the actual daily rate of wages of the employee has been worked out by dividing the monthly rate of wages by twenty-six and such actual daily rate of wages is not less than the notified minimum daily rate of wages of the employee, then, no wages for the rest day shall be payable; and (iii) the employee works on the rest day and has been given a substituted rest day, then, the employee shall be paid, only for the rest day on which he worked, an amount equal to the wages payable at the overtime rate, which shall not be less than twice the normal rate of wages, and, in case any dispute arises whether the daily rate of wages has been worked out in accordance with the provisions of this proviso, the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) or the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) having jurisdiction may, on application made in this behalf, decide the same, after giving an opportunity to the parties concerned to make written representations: Provided further that in case of an employee governed by a piece-rate system, the employee shall be paid wages for the rest day on which he works, at the overtime rate and wages for the substituted rest day at the rate applicable to the previous working day. Explanation.- For the purpose of this sub-rule, the words ‘previous working day’ means the last day on which the employee has worked, which precedes the rest day or the substituted rest day, as the case may be; and where the substituted rest day falls on a day immediately after the rest day, the previous working day means the last day on which the employee has worked, which precedes the rest day.
