Practice question
An employer needs covered staff on their scheduled rest day to perform urgent equipment repairs necessary to avoid serious loss. It proves the Article 92 condition but says that a lawful power to require work also eliminates the statutory rest-day premium. No holiday or higher contractual rate is involved. Which is correct?
- A lawful reason always makes rest-day work unpaid
- The authority to require the work does not remove the applicable premium-pay duty
- Emergency repair converts employees into volunteers
- Only the equipment supplier can claim wages
- The employees must finance the repair as their premium
