GOG.; :. J 5 HOLIDAY CASUAL WORKER AND PAY [2EB PRESB ASSOCIATION.] NELSON, September 17. A decision of importance to fruitgrowers was delivered by the Magistrate, Mr. Maunsell, this morning the effect of which is that casual orchard hands need not be paid for the Good Friday holiday. As a test case, a charge was made against Arthur McKee, of employing an agricultural worker in an orchard, and failiug to allow a holiday on Good Friday, without deduction, and lhe information was dismissed. The Magistrate held that Section 3A of the Agricultural Workers Extension Order was ultra vires. Further that the clause did not extend to casual workers. “There must necessarily be continuity of relationship. It is obviously repugnant to treat a casual engagement as continuius. Had the Friday not been a holiday, the employee may or may not receive casual employment. At any rate, he had not a contractual right to such employment, therefore there was no failure to pay wages in breach of the extension order,”
