Remuneration other than wages

(1) Nothing in this Act shall render illegal any agreement or contract with an employee for the partial payment of his wages in the form of allowances in kind, other than in the form of intoxicating liquor or noxious drugs, Provided that, (a) such allowances are appropriate for the personal use and benefit of the worker and his family; (b) the value attributed to such allowances is fair and reasonable; and (c) the partial payment of wages in the form of such allowances is customary or desirable because of the nature of the industry or occupation concerned. (2) Any employer who makes any payment of an employee’s wages in whole or part in the form of intoxicating liquor or noxious drugs commits an offence. 77
