Explanatory note

These Regulations authorise the payment of compensation to certain teachers at further education establishments who suffer loss of employment attributable to such contraction of advanced further education provision as is mentioned in Regulation 3(2).

The Regulations apply only in the case of teachers who are, or if they so elected would be, subject to superannuation regulations made under section 7 or 9 of the Superannuation Act 1972, who have attained the age of 41 but not that of 50 years and who are entitled to a redundancy payment under the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 and only where they suffer loss of employment before 1st September 1985 (Regulation 3(1)).

The compensating authority in relation to a teacher is the authority or body by whom he is employed (Regulation 4).

The maximum compensation payable to a teacher in pursuance of the Regulations is the difference between the redundancy payment to which he is entitled and that to which he would have been entitled if specified amendments had been made to the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 (Regulation 5).
