These Regulations amend the Fixed-term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 ("the 2002 Regulations").
Regulation 3 of these Regulations revokes the Fixed-term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008.
