Age Regulations Amended

The government has published The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 (Amendment) Regulations 2008, which come into force on 6th April 2008.

The changes are relatively minor, dealing with:

• issues relating to continuity of service for the service-related benefit exception; and,
• closing a loophole under the Regulations in connection with time limits (the original Regulations did not provide properly for the three month extensions of time under the dispute resolution regulations).
