Explanatory Note
Under section 110(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Secretary of State may, on application and subject to being satisfied that certain conditions are met, designate dismissal procedures agreements by order. The effect of designation is that the dismissal procedures in the agreement apply in relation to employees within the scope of the agreement in place of the right to complain of unfair dismissal to an employment tribunal contained in the 1996 Act. If the Secretary of State is satisfied that any of the conditions that have to be met in order to designate an agreement are no longer satisfied he is under a duty to revoke the designation.
This Order, which comes into force on 1st June, revokes the order designating the dismissal procedures agreement between the parties to the Joint Industry Board for the Electrical Contracting Industry on the ground that the agreement no longer satisfies all the conditions required for designation. The effect of the Order is that an employee within the industry dismissed after it comes into force who considers his dismissal to have been unfair must complain to an employment tribunal instead of under the procedures in the agreement.
The Order contains transitional provisions.
