BASIC WAGE RATES.
Prior to the introduction of the incentive bonus scheme, the wage rates paid to forestry workers were the same as the rates payable to Co. Council road workers in the various counties. With effect from the first pay week in January, 1958, a new basic wage structure for forestry workers was introduced. Two increases in basic rate have since been granted. Details are as follows:—
(a) Basic rates from 4th January, 1958 to 2nd January, 1960.
