Regulation 4 Consequential provision

This regulation applies where, immediately before the coming into force of section 116B(1) of the 1992 Act, a contract of employment or collective agreement contains provision that permits or requires a relevant public sector employer to make deductions from its workers’ wages in respect of trade union subscriptions.

After the coming into force of section 116B(1), the contract or agreement is to be treated as containing a prohibition on making a deduction unless to do so is consistent with section 116B(1).

This regulation does not affect any rights or obligations arising in connection with things done or omissions made before the coming into force of section 116B(1) or the enforcement of those rights and obligations.
