Absent a specific oral or written designation of particular rest days as alternative or substituted holidays under section 39, an employer cannot retrospectively treat routine weekly rest days as satisfying the statutory holiday entitlement; routine Public Holiday Pay paid as part of remuneration does not substitute for the statutory grant of holidays; the Labour Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the claim; appeal dismissed and tribunal award upheld.
