The duties of the Employee in accordance with this Agreement involve duties that require of him special personal care and loyalty, and therefore the directives of the Work Hours and Rest Law, 1951, or any law to be enacted in its place, will not be applicable to the Employee or to his activities which he will perform for the Company.

In addition the Company shall pay up to 2-1/2% of the Employee’s Salary towards loss of (working capacity) disability insurance (depending on the cost to the Company necessary to provide coverage). Similarly, at the beginning of each month the Company shall deduct from the Salary of Employee an amount equal to 5% of the Employee’s monthly Salary for the preceding month, and shall pay such amount as premium payable in respect of the provident compensation component of Policy.
