Allowances that do not accrue and are not calculated on a daily basis (LDA, GDA, DFSC) do not constitute 'daily wages' under ss41(2)/41C(2) and therefore are excluded from statutory holiday and annual leave pay calculations; Outport Allowance is a non-accountable pre-estimate to defray special expenses and falls within exception (d) of s2 and is excluded from 'wages'; the Tribunal's finding that Ms Ho received no statutory holiday pay because she was 'hourly paid' was erroneous and is set aside.
