EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Right to Time Off for Study or Training (Scotland) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1058) ("the 1999 Regulations"), which set out the standard of achievement and the qualification awarding bodies as prescribed for in sections 63A(1)(c) and 63A(2)(c) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. An employee who has not attained the relevant standard of achievement has the right to take time off for study or training leading to a relevant qualification, as awarded or authenticated by the specified qualification awarding bodies. These Regulations amend the 1999 Regulations to reflect qualifications developments and changes in the list of awarding bodies.

Regulation 3 adds a further standard of achievement, based on the Key Skills qualification.

Regulation 4 amends the Schedule to the principal Regulations, by deleting and adding bodies to those listed which may award or authenticate a relevant qualification. It also makes a number of minor drafting amendments to the bodies listed.

Regulation 5 makes savings provision where an employee has begun a course of training or studying leading to a qualification authenticated or awarded by an awarding body listed in the 1999 Regulations and which awarding body is deleted or amended by these Regulations.
