An employee employed in a part-time position is entitled to a partial minimum wage calculated in accordance with the part-time ration of his position. If an employee is absent from work, the minimum wage to which he is entitled, shall be reduced in proportion to the time of his absence. However, if he is entitled to receive payment for the time he is absent (under any law, contract of employment, collective agreement etc.) the payment shall be in accordance with the provisions of that agreement.
