These Regulations require a wages council proposing to make an order under the Wages Act 1986 to publish notice of the proposals in the London and Edinburgh Gazettes and to send employers notice of the proposals and notice of the provisions of an order once it is made. The Regulations prescribe matters which must be contained in the notices and require employers to post copies of the notices sent to them at workplaces so that the notices can be read by workers affected and to send copies of the notices to homeworkers affected.

The Regulations revoke the Wages Councils (Notices) Regulations 1987.
