Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

These Regulations amend the Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (S.R. 2003 No. 174), widening the scope of the right of employees (under Article 112F of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996) to request a contract variation. The right previously applied to carers of children under 6 or disabled children under 18, as well as employees who care for certain adults. It is extended to cover carers of children under 17.

Regulatory and Equality Impact Assessments are available on request from the Department for Employment and Learning.
