This Order may be cited as the Training for Work (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order 1995 and shall come into force on 15th August 1995.

2Interpretation

In this Order, unless the context otherwise requires—

  • “facilities" means facilities provided in pursuance of Training for Work;

  • “training allowance" means a payment made, directly or indirectly, by the Secretary of State to a Training for Work Participant in connection with his use of facilities;

and a person is, or, as the case may be, was at any material time, a “Training for Work Participant" if he is, or, as the case may be, was at that time, using facilities.

3Revocation and savings

(1)

The Training for Work (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order 1993 M1 (“the 1993 Order") is hereby revoked.

(2)

Notwithstanding the revocation of the 1993 Order, in respect of any period or periods falling before the coming into force of this Order persons to whom the 1993 Order applied, and the payments which those persons received in connection with their use of facilities, shall continue to be treated in the manner provided for by articles 2 and 3 of that Order.

4Treatment of persons and payments for purposes of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 and the subordinate legislation specified in the Schedule

(1)

For the purpose of—

(a)

Part I of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 M1, and

(b)

the subordinate legislation specified in the Schedule to this Order,

if, for any period or periods commencing with or falling after the date on which this Order comes into force during which a person is a Training for Work Participant, that person receives or is eligible or entitled to receive a payment or payments from any person in connection with his use of facilities, his status during that period or those periods, the identity of his employer if he is to be treated as employed, and the manner in which that payment is or those payments are to be treated shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3) of this article.

(2)

Subject to paragraph 3, for any period in respect of which the Training for Work Participant receives or is eligible to receive a training allowance he is to be treated as not being employed but as participating in arrangements for training under section 2 of the 1973 Act; and accordingly any payment made to such a person during that period in connection with his use of facilities shall be treated in the same manner as a payment made in respect of such training.

(3)

For any period in respect of which the Training for Work Participant receives no training allowance but receives or is entitled to receive instead payment by way of remuneration from his employer in connection with his use of facilities, he is to be treated as being employed by his employer; and any such payment made to him by his employer is to be treated as earnings.

Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order provides that, henceforward, for the purpose of Part I of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4) and the subordinate legislation specified in the Schedule to the Order.

(a)

a person using facilities provided under the Training for Work programme and receiving training allowances in connection with the use of the facilities shall be treated as participating in arrangements for training under section 2 of the Employment and Training Act 1973 (c. 50). Any payment made to such a person in connection with his use of those facilities shall be treated in the same manner as a payment made in respect of such training; and

(b)

a person using facilities provided under the Training for Work programme and receiving remuneration from an employer instead of training allowances in connection with the use of the facilities shall be treated as employed by that employer. Any payment made to such a person by the employer in connection with his use of those facilities shall be treated as earnings.

The Order revokes the Training for Work (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/348) but provides that the treatment which would have applied under that Order in respect of periods of participation in Training for Work falling before its revocation shall continue to apply in respect of those periods.
