Regulatory Guidance

The DTI produces a wide range of guidance providing practical help on employment relations regulations and procedures.

 

Consultation Documents

Consultation Documents invite comment on proposals for changes in employment relations legislation.
 

Consultation on revised TUPE Regulations

Consultation pdf (233Kb) on draft revised Regulations. The responses for this closed on 7 June 2005. A response document summarising the outcome of these consultations was published by the DTI in February 2006.
 

Consultation Work and Families: Choice and Flexibility

The Work and Families: Choice and Flexibility consultation seeks views on maternity leave and pay and flexible working. The closing date is 25 May 2005

Consultation on draft guidance on Information and Consultation Regulations

Draft guidance (MS Word 462Kb) on the above has been published for consultation. The guidance is intended to be a plain explanation of the Regulations. We are seeking views from employers, employees and other interest groups on its practical use. The consultation closes on 22 October 2004.

 

Consultation on long hours working

The Government has embarked on a 12-week consultation (MS Word 208Kb) on long hours working and the operation of the individual opt out in the UK. We are seeking views and information from both employers and workers on the current areas of discussion surrounding the future of the opt out.

This consultation closes on 22 September 2004, and whilst we will consider all replies, early responses will be better placed to inform the Government’s negotiations in Europe. Welsh version to follow.
