(2) Where under subsection (1), it is determined that regulatory machinery does exist, the Commission shall examine the adequacy of that machinery and report thereon to the Minister.
(3) The Commission shall include in a report made under subsection (2) such recommendations as the Commission may think fit for improving the efficiency of the machinery.
(4) Where under subsection (1), in the opinion of the Commission, there are among the employees in respect of whom the referral was made, any whose case should be dealt with separately, either on the ground that there exists regulatory machinery in respect of some of the employees and not others or that the nature or hours of employment of some employees differs from that of others or for any other reason, the Commission shall so advise the Minister.
(5) Where upon the expiry of the notice period under subsection 77 and having considered any comments or objections submitted under sections 77 and 78, the Commission is of the opinion that the Minister should fix a minimum wage or other terms and conditions of service or employment or that equal remuneration is not being granted for work of equal value in respect of the employees in respect of whom the referral was made, the Commission, subject to section 80, shall so recommend and may include in the recommendation—
(a) a proposed minimum wage; and
(b) such other basic conditions as the nature of the case may require.
