Sunrise Packers Ltd wants to fix a wage period of 45 days for its supervisory staff to align with its billing cycle. Which statement is correct under the Code on Wages, 2019?
A 45-day wage period is not permitted. The employer must fix the wage period as daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and no wage period for any employee may exceed a month. Employee consent or the category of staff does not change this limit.
- APermitted, as the employer is free to fix any wage period
- BPermitted, if the employees give written consent
- CNot permitted, as no wage period for any employee can exceed a monthCorrect
- DPermitted, but only for supervisory employees
Explanation
The employer fixes the wage period as daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and no wage period for any employee may be more than a month. A 45-day period therefore breaches the Code. Consent does not override this limit.
