Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in order to ensure compliance with Article 119 of the Treaty of Rome, Council Directive 75/117/EEC (OJ No. L45, 19.2.1975, p.19) and Council Directive 76/207/EEC (OJ No. L39, 14.2.1976, p.40) following the decision of the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords in R -v- Secretary of State for Employment, ex parte Equal Opportunities Commission and another [1994] 2 WLR 409. The Regulations come into force on 6th February 1995.
The Regulations remove the provisions of the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 and of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 which exclude part-time workers from rights under those Acts and provide that periods of part-time employment will count in the computation of periods of employment under the 1978 Act.
