# The Social Security (Unemployment, Sickness and Invalidity Benefit) Amendment Regulations 1995, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Unemployment, Sickness and Invalidity Benefit) Regulations 1983.
Regulation 2 adds a paragraph (5B) to regulation 7 of those Regulations providing that where a person is on standby in readiness for employment in manning or launching a lifeboat or for performance of duty as a part-time member of a fire brigade, any earnings derived from a retainer payable in respect of the hours when he is on standby shall be disregarded for the purposes of treating a day as a day of unemployment.
Regulation 3 amends paragraph (b) of regulation 9 of the Social Security (Unemployment, Sickness and Invalidity Benefit) Regulations 1983 by substituting for the reference to a part-time fireman the term “part-time member of a fire brigade”.
These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
