Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 (Amendment) Regulations 2002 come into force

Implementation date: 1 October 2002

The Regulations amend the Part-Time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 come into force. These amendments allow part-time workers to compare themselves to full-time workers under a different type of contract when looking at whether they have been less favourably treated. They also adapt the rules on remedies available to part-time workers denied equal access to occupational pension schemes. Under current law, the remedy ordered by the tribunal may go back no more than two years. This restriction is lifted. The Regulations can be viewed on the OPSI website.
