This SI makes amendments to employment law to reflect the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (EU) in the event that there is no deal with the EU. The amendments ensure the legislation is clear by removing or amending language that is no longer appropriate once the UK has exited the EU.
The relevant legislation in NI is:
Article 111(3), Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 implements Council Directive 96/34/EC in Northern Ireland which provides the framework on parental leave.
Article 21(4), Employment Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 implements Council Directive 97/81/EC in Northern Ireland on the framework agreement on part - time work in its application to terms and conditions of employment.
Section 46(4), Employment Act 2002 implements in Northern Ireland the framework agreements on fixed - term work in its application to terms and conditions of employment.
Section 43(5), Employment Relations Act 2004 refers to the Department for Employment and Learning’s powers of implementing the Directive concerning information and consultation in Northern Ireland. These powers are now vested in the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland.
Working Time Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 implements EU Working Time Directives which relate to the organisation of working time, and the protection of young people at work in Northern Ireland.
Posted Workers (Enforcement of Employment Rights) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 includes provisions for posted workers in the construction sector and subcontracting liability. It also provides for cross border enforcement of financial administrative penalties and fines.
