EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which are made under section 19 of the Employment Relations Act 1999, amend the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/1551) in the following ways -
1.
They remove the distinction between fixed-term and permanent contracts for the purpose of ascertaining what are different types of contract for the purpose of the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000, and
2.
They remove the provision that limits the compensation employment tribunals can award in cases involving occupational pension schemes to compensation relating to two years prior to the presentation of the complaint.
3.
The Regulations come into force on 1st October 2002.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment of the costs and benefits that will result from the initial regulations in 2000 was placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament. It is available to the public from Employment Relations Directorate, Department of Trade and Industry, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET and is also available on the DTI website at www.dti.gov.uk. Any additional compliance costs from the current amendments will arise only where employers treat part-time workers less favourably than their new full time comparators because they work part time. The DTI survey on part time work which informed the original RIA suggested that the number affected would be small and it is therefore not possible to estimate any additional costs.
