5. The basic weekly wage for pieceworkers shall be assessed subject to the following conditions:
(a)The basic weekly wage shall be calculated according to the pieceworkers' average earnings for a 40 hour week, exclusive of overtime and all time lost by the employee on account of bad time keeping, during a period of four full consecutive weeks of normal productive employment.

If the employer and employee fail to agree upon an alternative period or figure the usual procedure of negotiation shall be used to settle the dispute.
