That is understood. My argument is if an individual has no contract and uses the infrastructure to seek compensation, then that compensation will under this legislation be based on either the minimum wage or ERA. I am suggesting that that compensation should also be based on the wages of other staff who are possibly earning above the ERA or the national minimum wage. I believe this third option should be available to the judge in determining the wage on which the compensation shall be based.
