The deadline is subject to early parliamentary approval of legislation to establish the minimum wage and other labor standards. The labor standards measure is expected to be placed before the Commons soon--in time for debate before a summer recess Covering about 556,000 em- ' ue hi ployees under federal jurisdic- tion--about 10 per cent of the non-farm work force--the gov- ernment's labor code is re- ported to provide: --$1.25 an hour as a minimum wage. | --An eight-hour standard work day. e --A 40-hour standard work week. --Two weeks vacation with pay after each year of employ- ment. --Eight paid statutory holi- days annually.
