Refer also to subclauses (5), (6), (7) and (8)
c) Casual employees: An employer shall pay a casual employee in respect of each hour or part of an hour (excluding overtime) worked by the employee on any day other than a paid holiday or a Sunday not less than the hourly wage prescribed in subclause (1)(b) for an ordinary employee who in the same area performs the same class of work as the casual employee is required to do, plus 15 percent, or not less than the hourly wage or hourly equivalent of the wage actually being paid to the ordinary employee, whichever is the greater amount: Provided that-
i) for the purposes of this paragraph the expression "the ordinary employee" means the employee who performs the particular class of work in the employer’s full-time employ and who is being paid the lowest wage for that class of work;
ii) where the employer requires the casual employee-
aa) to perform the work of a class of employee for whom wages on a rising scale are prescribed, the expression "hourly wage" shall mean the hourly wage prescribed for a qualified employee of that class;
ab) to work for a period of less than four hours on any day, the employee shall be deemed to have worked four hours and remunerated accordingly.
d) Ship security officers and cargo security officers: A ship security officer and a cargo security officer shall be paid at least R4,33 for each hour or part of an hour of employment.
2) Basis of contract: For the purposes of this clause, the contract of employment of an employee, other than a casual employee, a ship security officer or a cargo security officer, shall be on a weekly basis.
3) Differential wage: An employer who requires or permits a member of one class of employee to perform for longer than one hour on any day, either in addition to the employee’s own work or in substitution therefore, work of another class for which-
a) a wage higher than that of the employee’s own class is prescribed in subclause (1), shall pay to such employee in respect of that day not less than the daily wage calculated at the higher rate; or
b) a rising scale of wages terminating in a wage higher than that of the employee’s own class as prescribed in subclause (1), shall pay to such employee in respect of that day not less than the daily wage calculated on the notch in the rising scale immediately above the wage which the employee was receiving for the employee’s ordinary work: provided that-
i) this subclause shall not apply where the difference between the classes in terms of subclause (1) is based on experience;
ii) unless expressly otherwise provided in a written contract between the employer and employee, nothing in this determination shall be so construed as to preclude an employer from requiring an employee to perform work of another class for which class the same or a lower wage is prescribed.
4) Calculation of wages: The wage, overtime and Sunday time of an employee, other than a casual employee, a ship security officer or a cargo security officer, shall be calculated on an hourly basis and an employee shall be paid accordingly.
5) Bicycle allowance: An employer who requires an employee to use an employee’s own bicycle in the performance of an employee’s duties shall pay the employee, in addition to any other remuneration payable to the employee-
a) in the case of a casual employee, a ship security officer and a cargo security officer, an allowance of not less than R1,00 per day;
b) in the case of any other employee, an allowance of not less than R5,00 per week or, if the employee is required or permitted to use an employee’s own bicycle on occasion only, an allowance of not less than R1,00 for each day on which an employee so uses the bicycle.
6) Night shift allowance: If the major portion of the shift ordinarily falls between the hours of 18:00 on one day and 06:00 the next day that employee will be entitled to and shall receive an allowance of R 1,35 per such night shift worked.
7) Firearm allowance: An employer shall pay an employee who is required to carry a firearm in the performance of an employee’s duties at a rate of not less than that specified for a grade D security officer or at the rate which an employee normally receives, whichever is the higher.
8) Dog allowance: For every day or part of a day on which an employer requires or permits a security officer Grade C, D or E to use or be in charge of a dog in the performance of an employee’s duties, an employer shall pay the employee an allowance of not less than R1,00 for such day.
