COAL MINES (WEIGHING OF MINERALS) ACT 1905 - SECT 2

Amendments as to persons who appoint and pay check weighers.

2.(1) For the purposes of the principal Act and of this Act the persons who
are entitled, under section thirteen of the principal Act, to appoint a check
weigher, and from whom he is entitled, under section fourteen of the principal
Act, to recover his wages or recompense, shall be deemed to include not only
the persons in charge of the working places, but also all holers, fillers,
trammers and other persons who are paid according to the weight of the mineral
gotten.

(2) Where there are persons employed in a mine who are employed by a
contractor who is himself paid according to weight of mineral gotten, such
persons, if they are either in charge of the working places or are holers,
fillers, trammers, or brushers, shall, notwithstanding that they are paid by
the contractor and otherwise than in accordance with the weight of mineral
gotten, be deemed to be included among those who are entitled to appoint a
check weigher, and from whom he is entitled as aforesaid to recover wages or
recompense; but the proportion of such wages or recompense recoverable in
respect of such persons shall be paid by the contractor who employs them, and
recoverable by the check weigher from him alone.

(3) The wages or recompense which a check weigher may recover, under section
fourteen of the principal Act, shall include expenses properly incurred by him
in carrying out his work under the principal Act.
