Regulations to supplement the Regulations respecting the
hours of work of industrial workers of 23rd November, 1918.*
Dated 17th December, 1918..
I. No. V of the Regulations of 23rd November, I918,*
respecting the hours of work of industrial workers shall read as
follows :-
Contrary to the general provisions of the Industrial Code,
women workers over 16 years of age may be employed up to
io p.m. in undertakings where two or more shifts are worked,
provided that after their hours of work they are allowed an
uninterrupted period of rest of at least 16 hours.
In these cases instead of one hour's break at mid-day, a
break of half an hour or two breaks of a quarter of an hour may
be allowed, which shall be reckoned as part of the hours of work.
Women workers and young persons who work not more than
four hours a day need not be allowed any break. If the period
of employment exceeds four hours but is not more than six
hours, a break of a quarter of an hour must be allowed; if the
period of employment exceeds six hours but is not more than
eight hours, a break of half an hour or two breaks of a quarter
of an hour must be allowed ; and in the case of a longer period
of employment the breaks prescribed in Sections 136 and
137 of the Industrial Code must be allowed.
II. The following third paragraph shall be added to No.
VII :-
The demobilisation commissioners may, after consultation
with the industrial inspecting officials and the district mining
officials, allow, subject to revocation, more far-reaching excep-
tions to the restrictions on the employment of industrial workers,
if these exceptions are urgently necessary to prevent unemploy-
ment or to ensure the public food supply. Copies of the
exceptions allowed must be laid before the Demobilisation Board
within two days.
