SECTION 33

(1) In each of the cases (a), (b) and (c) referred to in Section 32 above, the employer shall be bound to pay to the worker, if the contract is of unspecified duration, compensation equal either to the compensation in lieu of notice when the period of absence is equal to or exceeds the period of notice, or to the remuneration to which the worker would have been entitled during his absence when the period of absence is shorter than the notice period provided for in Section 34. (2) In the same cases, if the contract is of specified duration, the compensation shall be granted within the above limits, by reference to the notice provided for contracts of unspecified duration, the length of service being deemed to run from the start of the contract in force. In such case, suspension may not have the effect of extending the term of the contract initially provided for. (3) In case of lay-off and in the absence of a collective agreement, the conditions for compensation shall be laid down by order of the Minister in charge of Labour, issued after consultation with the National Labour Advisory Board.
