The minimum number of days in a month for which wages are guaranteed should be assessed annually on the basis of the average employment during the Immediately preceding 12 months according to the following procedure:

(a) The total number of man-shifts worked every month by Khamalies and Rolias including leave reserve workers in the reserve pool should be recorded.

(b) The effective, strength of Khamalies and Rolias including leave reserve workers in the reserve pool on alj the working days of the month should be recorded-

(c) The effective strength of Khamalies and Rolias on all the working days in a month obtained under (b) above should, be added up and divided by the number of working days in the month to yield the effective strength of these workers during the month.

After rounding to the nearest day=15 days.

Although this average has been calculated for the lowest categories of workers orily. it will apply to all the categories of stevedore labour, namely, Winchman, Sirdar, Mate, etc. If a new catetfQry of workers Is registered, the minimum guarantee for this category to start with will be determined as has been provided in the principles relating to the registration of new categories of workers mentioned in sub-clause (2) of clause 18 of the Scheme-

Similar calculation should be made In June, 1957 and thereafter every year. If the average number of days in any year works out to be less than the minimum number of days for which wages have already been guaranteed, the latter number will not be reduced. In other words, the minimum number of days in a month (or which wages are guaranteed will progressively increase but will never be decreased.

4 When the output of a worker is below 1 Unit except for reasons beyond his. control, he will be paid the Processing Wage. In such cases, that is when he is, paid only the processing wage, it will be open to him to make a representation to the Dock Labour Board, that his low output Is due to reasons beyond his control and asks lor the wages at 1 Unit level.

6 If work is available for at least half the shift hour, a worker must produce the full unit level output, in order to be entitled to the W.B.I. If work is not available for half the shift hour, a worker shall be paid the W.B.I, irrespective of the output.

7. Since units of performance have been fixed takinK into account the average loss of working time that Is occasioned in the course of normal chippin* and painting work in Calcutta, there shall be no separate payment for idle time-
