52. Employer to make up pay



(1) In this section and section 53, employee does not include an independent
contractor.





(2) Despite any inconsistent term in a contract of employment, an employee who
has been summoned for jury service and who has attended court, whether or not
he or she has actually served on a jury, is entitled to be reimbursed by his
or her employer an amount equal to the difference between the amount of
remuneration paid under section 51 and the amount that he or she could
reasonably expect to have received from the employer as earnings for that
period had he or she not been performing jury service.
