INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS (NO.2) (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1976 - SECT 60

60.(1) The Head of the Department shall be the appropriate Northern Irish
authority for the purposes of section 128 of the Employment Protection Act
1975 and may, with the consent of the Department of Finance, make reciprocal
arrangements with the Secretary of State for co-ordinating the provisions of
this Order and Parts III to V of the No.1 Order with the provisions of the
corresponding Great Britain legislation so as to secure that they operate, to
such extent as may be provided by the arrangements, as a single system.

(2) For the purpose of giving effect to any such arrangements the Head of the
Department shall have power, in conjunction with the Secretary of State,

(a)where the arrangements relate to the provisions of this Order relating to
maternity pay, to make any necessary adjustments between the Northern Ireland
Maternity Pay Fund and the Maternity Pay Fund established under the Employment
Protection Act 1975; and

(b)where the arrangements relate to the provisions of Articles 42 to 46 of the
No. 1 Order, to make any necessary financial adjustments between the Northern
Ireland Redundancy Fund and the Redundancy Fund established under the
Redundancy Payments Act 1965.

(3) The Head of the Department may make regulations for giving effect in
Northern Ireland to any such arrangements and any such regulations may provide
that this Order and Parts III to V of the No. 1 Order shall have effect in
relation to persons affected by the arrangements subject to such modifications
and adaptations as may be specified in the regulations, including provision

(a)for securing that acts, omissions and events having any effect for the
purposes of the corresponding Great Britain legislation shall have a
corresponding effect for the purposes of this Order and Parts III to V of the
No. 1 Order (but not so as to confer a right to double payment in respect of
the same act, omission or event); and

(b)for determining, in cases where rights accrue both under this Order or
Parts III to V of the No. 1 Order and under the corresponding Great Britain
legislation which of those rights shall be available to the person concerned.

(4) In this Article "the corresponding Great Britain legislation" means the
Trade Union and Labour Relations Acts 1974 and 1976 so far as they relate to
unfair dismissal and the Employment Protection Act 1975.
