The bill (Reg. No. 1220) suggests setting payment “to the employees gaining monthly payment – at the rate of hour or daily payable rate, if the work on public holidays and day offs was conducted within standard monthly working time, and at the rate of double average (daily) payment, if the work was conducted over standard monthly working time.”
