1931 AWARD RATES
PAYMENT IN EXCESS
MINISTER EXPLAINS
Some uncertainty. seems to have arisen regarding the payment of 1931 rates in respect of persons who were receiving more than the award rate then. In an interview today, the Minister of Finance (the Hon.- W. Nash) made it clear that there was nothing in the Finance Bill to compel an employer to pay more than the award rate. "All we are doing," he stated, "is restoring the 1931 rate where there is an award. If an employer paid over the award rate he shall still have to pay the award rate now, but it was not compulsory in 1931, and it is not now, for him to pay over the award rate."
