Section 11 of COW : Section 11: Wages For Two Or More Classes Of Work

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where Emily works at a garment factory where she is involved in both sewing and embroidery. The minimum wage for sewing is $10 per hour and for embroidery, it's $12 per hour. According to Section 11 of The Code on Wages, 2019, if Emily spends 3 hours sewing and 2 hours doing embroidery on a particular day, her employer must pay her at least $30 for sewing (3 hours x $10/hour) and $24 for embroidery (2 hours x $12/hour), totaling $54 for that day. This ensures Emily is paid the correct minimum wage for each type of work she performs.
