Does Deputy Neville wish to comment? No. Does anyone else wish to comment? No.

We are not discussing the new Bill today but I have a query about the rate or method of calculating pay. The Minister of State mentioned five points that are very good for a new employee. Will the information provided to a new employee state whether he or she is working a week-in-hand, a forthnight-in-hand or a month-in-hand? Sometimes new employees are confused by the fact that that aspect is not clearly stated. I ask the Minister of State to consider the matter in terms of his Bill. The five points of information provided include the full name of the employer and employee; the address of the employer; the expected duration of the contract; what the employer reasonably expects the normal length of the employee's working day and week will be; and the rate or method of calculating pay.
