These regulations provide the machinery for the operation of a wages structure for agricultural workers under orders of the Agricultural Wages Board. Agricultural wages committees will have the duty of issuing craft certificates to workers who produce evidence that they are suitably qualified under the Board's orders, and of revoking, suspending and terminating the suspension of certificates in prescribed circumstances.
A certificate can be revoked only where it has been wrongly issued, and in such a case the worker is given the opportunity of making representations beforehand.
The regulations prescribe for notice of decisions to be given to employers and workers, for the making of applications, and for the keeping of registers of craftsmen.
Committees' powers can be delegated to sub-committees under the Agricultural Wages Committees Regulations 1949 (S.I. 1949/1885), but the right of Committees under those regulations to override sub-committees is taken away where the worker's application under these regulations is granted by the sub-committee. In cases of revocation or refusal the right remains.
Committees are given powers of conciliation in cases where an employer refuses a declaration as to a worker's competence.
