EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


The Redundancy Payments (Continuity of Employment in Local Government, etc.) (Modification) Order 1999 ("the principal Order") modifies certain provisions of the Employment Rights Act 1996 concerning redundancy payments in their application to individuals employed by certain local government employers or other employers in related sectors. The effect of the modifications is that an individual's service with a succession of employers is treated as if it were continuous for the purposes of those provisions.

The main effect of this Order is to amend the principal Order by adding to the list of bodies set out in Schedule 1 to the principal Order, to whose employees that order applies. Numerous bodies have been added: see articles 2(2) to 2(6) of this Order.

This Order also amends the principal Order by adding valuation tribunals in England established under the Local Government Finance Act 1988 to the list of employers, set out in Part II of Schedule 2 to the principal Order, service with whom is to be treated as part of an individual's continuous employment: see article 2(7) of this Order.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
