The High Court, in a test case, has held that a Bangladeshi worker deployed as a site supervisor is not an executive and is entitled to pay rates for rest days he worked, as set out in Part IV of the Employment Act.
The Court overruled the finding of an assistant commissioner of labour who had held that Mr Hasan Shofiqul, 33, being a site supervisor, was employed in an executive position.
