Under the Code on Wages, 2019, the minimum rate of wages on a time work basis, which also underpins piece work protection, may be fixed in which of the following wage periods?

The minimum rate on a time work basis may be fixed by the hour, by the day or by the month. These are the three wage periods named in the Code on Wages; weekly, fortnightly, quarterly or yearly periods are not listed.

  1. ABy the hour, by the day or by the monthCorrect
  2. BBy the day, by the fortnight or by the year
  3. CBy the week or by the quarter only
  4. DBy the hour or by the year only

Explanation

Section 6(4) lists the wage periods for the time-work minimum rate as by the hour, by the day or by the month. Week, fortnight, quarter and year are not listed there, so the other options are wrong.
