Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 50 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires an employer to allow time off during working hours, subject to the provisions of the section, to an employee of his who is a justice of the peace or who is a member of a body set out in section 50(2).

This Order modifies section 50(9) by adding the General Teaching Council for England and the General Teaching Council for Wales to the list of relevant education bodies whose members are covered by section 50.
