CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT AND REDUNDANCY PAYMENTS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1965 - SECT 15

Lay-off and short-time.

15.(1) Where an employee is employed under a contract on such terms and
conditions that his remuneration thereunder depends on his being provided by
the employer with work of the kind which he is employed to do, he shall for
the purposes of this Part be taken to be laid off for any week in respect of
which, by reason that the employer does not provide such work for him, he is
not entitled to any remuneration under the contract.

(2) Where by reason of a diminution in the work provided for an employee by
his employer (being work of a kind which under his contract the employee is
employed to do) the employee's remuneration for any week is less than half a
week's pay ... he shall for the purposes of this Part be taken to be kept on
short-time for that week.

[(2A) For the purposes of Part II of Schedule 2 to the Industrial Relations
(Northern Ireland) Order 1976 as it applies for the calculation of a week's
pay for the purposes of the last preceding subsection, the calculation date is
the day immediately preceding the first of the four or, as the case may be,
the six weeks referred to in section 16(1).]

(3) In this section and in section 16 and 17 "week", in relation to an
employee whose remuneration is calculated weekly by a week ending on a day
other than Saturday, means a week ending with that other day, and, in relation
to any other employee, means a week ending with Saturday.
