judgment_summary: The Labour Tribunal heard consolidated claims (LBTC 2827/2008, 2828/2008 & 2829/2008) concerning the proper calculation of statutory holiday pay and annual leave pay under the amended Employment Ordinance. This case (LBTC 2828/2008) was one of three consolidated claims brought by cabin crew members against Cathay Pacific Airways Limited. The case involved interpretation of sections 41 and 41C which define "wages" and establish the methodology for calculating daily rates of holiday pay and annual leave pay. The decision addressed the calculation period (12 months or shorter period) and the treatment of various types of paid leave days in the wage calculation. A corrigendum was issued on 22 January 2009 to correct the quoted provisions of sections 41 and 41C.
