4.05.1. An employee who reports to work at his place of employment at the express demand of his employer and who works fewer than 3 consecutive hours, except in the case of a fortuitous event, is entitled to an indemnity equal to 3 hours’ wages at the prevailing hourly rate, except where the application of sections 4.02, 4.03 or 4.05 provides him with a higher amount.
The first paragraph does not apply where the nature of the work or the conditions of execution require the employee to be present several times in the same day, for less than 3 hours each time.
