I move amendment No. 4:

In page 11, to delete lines 15 to 43, and in page 12, to delete lines 1 to 10, and substitute the following:

“(5) The pay in respect of an employee’s domestic violence leave shall—

(a) where applicable, be paid to the employee in advance of his or her taking the leave,

(b) be at the normal weekly rate, or as the case may be, at a rate which is proportionate to the normal weekly rate, and

(c) in a case in which board or lodging or, as the case may be, both board and lodging constitute part of the employee’s remuneration,

include compensation, calculated at the prescribed rate, for any such board or lodging as will not be received by the employee whilst on

domestic violence leave.

(6) In this section, ‘normal weekly rate’ means the normal weekly rate of the pay of the employee concerned determined in accordance with

regulations made by the Minister for the purposes of this section.”.
