EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Working Time Regulations 1998, the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000, the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 and the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 provide that a complaint cannot be presented by a member of the armed forces to an employment tribunal under those Regulations unless a complaint under service complaint procedures has been made about the same matter and not withdrawn. Consequent upon the Armed Forces Act 2006 this Order amends those Regulations so that they refer to service complaints brought under that Act.
