The Employment Protection (Offshore Employment) (Amendment) Order 1977
This Order, which comes into operation on 2nd May 1977, amends the Employment Protection (Offshore Employment) Order 1976 (the principal Order). The main effect of the amendments is to include provisions of the Employment Protection Act 1975 which have come into operation since the principal Order was made. Those provisions comprise rights of employees to guarantee payments, maternity pay, itemised pay statement, extension of terms and conditions and amendments and repeals of certain enactments. The amendments of the principal Order are also intended to ensure that that Order does not overlap with the relevant statutory provisions and to secure uniformity of operation between those statutory provisions and the comparable provisions as applied by that Order.
