Statute overview

About this statute

This provision sets rules for employee return-to-work rights, notice pay, redundancy calculations, tribunal procedure, and related powers and offences. The provision gives the Appeal Tribunal procedural powers, lets rules allow costs orders in limited cases, and sets several rules for continuity of employment, strikes, lock-outs, and calculating a week’s pay. This provision sets how to calculate a week’s pay for various employment-related purposes, including a capped amount of £210 in certain cases, and gives the Secretary of State power to vary that limit after review. This provision is mainly a repeal-and-amendment history list for sections and schedules of the Act.
