EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations implement provisions of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27th November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (O.J. No. L 303, 2.12.2000, p. 16) in so far as it relates to disability discrimination in the payment of agricultural wages. They are also a consequence of the revocation of regulation 6 of the Disability Discrimination (Employment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (SR 1996 No 419) by regulation 3 of the Disability Discrimination (Employment Field) (Leasehold Premises) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (SR 2004 No 374).
These Regulations repeal article 6 of the Agricultural Wages (Regulation) (Northern Ireland) Order 1977 and paragraph 25 of Schedule 2 to the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 (c. 39). Article 6 provides for the grant of a permit exempting an agricultural employer from the requirement to pay an infirm or incapacitated worker the full statutory minimum wage set by the Agricultural Wages Orders.
