The Employment Rights (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) (No. 2)  Regulations 2018

Draft Affirmative
Laid: 01/11/18

The Northern Ireland SI amends the following legislation:   

Article 37 of the Employment Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 which provides a power to the Department for the Economy to make regulations in certain circumstances where EU obligations relating to the treatment of employees on the transfer of all   or part of an undertaking or business do not apply. Article 37 has so far been relied upon to make the Service Provision Change (Protection of Employment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 as the service provision element of the TUPE Regulations 2006 does not extend to Northern Ireland.   

Article 15 of the Work and Families (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 which contains a range of powers enabling the   Department for the Economy to make regulations relating to annual leave.   Paragraphs 2(g) and 4(b), which are to be repealed by this SI, contain specific powers which are defined by reference to EU obligations.
