The employee contemplated in section 67 is entitled to an indemnity equal to the wages corresponding to one day of work per month of uninterrupted service up to two weeks.
Should an employee be absent owing to sickness or accident or on maternity leave during the reference year and should that absence result in the reduction of that employee’s annual leave indemnity, the employee is then entitled to an indemnity equal, as the case may be, to twice or three times the weekly average of the wage earned during the period of work.
