TH DECEMBER 1945] 4 P ART I - SECT 12

Permits to infirm and incapacitated persons.

12.(1) If, as respects any worker employed or desiring to be employed in such
circumstances that a wages regulation order applies or will apply to him, the
wages council is satisfied on application being made to it for a permit under
this section either by the worker or the employer or a prospective employer,
that the worker is affected by infirmity or physical incapacity which renders
him incapable of earning the statutory minimum remuneration, it may, if it
thinks fit, grant, subject to such conditions, if any, as it may determine, a
permit authorising his employment at less than the statutory minimum
remuneration, and while the permit is in force the remuneration authorised to
be paid to him by the permit shall, if those conditions are complied with, be
deemed to be the statutory minimum remuneration.

(2) Where an employer employs any worker in reliance on any document
purporting to be a permit granted under the preceding sub-section authorising
the employment of that worker at less than the statutory minimum remuneration,
then, if the employer has notified the wages council in question that, relying
on that document, he is employing or proposing to employ that worker at a
specified remuneration, the document shall, notwithstanding that it is not or
is no longer a valid permit relating to that worker, be deemed, subject to the
terms thereof and as respects only any period after the notification, to be
such a permit until notice to the contrary is received by the employer from
the council.
