Excepted persons.
|
5.—(1) Whenever the Minister is satisfied, in respect of any class of persons employed by a particular employer in an insurable employment, that—
|
|
| |
(a) having regard to the normal practice of such employer, the employment of such class of persons is permanent in character, and
|
|
| |
(b) no deductions are made on account of time lost owing to inclement weather from wages of such class of persons, and
|
|
| |
(c) the other circumstances of the employment of such class of persons render it unnecessary that persons belonging to such class should be insured under this Act,
|
|
| |
he may issue to such employer a certificate (in this Act referred to as a certificate of exception) that he is so satisfied.
|
|
| |
(2) Where a certificate of exception in respect of a class of persons has been issued to an employer, then, any person employed by such employer who belongs to such class and who has completed three years or more permanent service with such employer shall, so long as such certificate is in force and such person remains in the employment of such employer, be an excepted person for the purposes of this Act, and the expression “excepted person” shall in this Act be construed accordingly.
|
|
| |
(3) The Minister may at any time revoke any certificate of exception.
