(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect to proposals of the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board which were submitted to the Secretary of State. The proposals are for the imposition of a levy on employers in the engineering construction industry for the purpose of raising money towards meeting the expenses of the Board. The levy is raised in respect of those who carry out engineering construction work on site. No levy is raised in respect of those who run the employer’s business through its head office.
The levy is to be imposed in respect of the levy period commencing on the day on which this Order comes into force and ending on 31st August 2004.
The levy will be assessed by the Board in accordance with article 4 and there is a right of appeal against an assessment to an employment tribunal.
A full regulatory assessment of the effect that this Order will have on the costs of business is available from the Department for Education and Skills, Library and information Service, Moorfoot, Sheffield, S1 4PQ or Sanctuary Buildings, Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BT.
