the Council of Ministers which shall determine the amount and scope of such
payment having regard to the proportion to which each hour of extra work

The payment shall not be subject to any tax except stamp duty.

reproach, warning and docking of wages on all public personnel
except the military and judiciary, if such personnel do not perform or
discharge the duties assigned to them or disobey orders.  In doing so the

penalty of docking of wages to public personnel not covered by clause (1) of
