The Employment Protection (Medical Suspension) Order 1988
This Order, which comes into force on 1st October 1989, removes provisions from, and adds one provision to, the list of specified provisions in Schedule 1 to the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 (“the 1978 Act”). The Order is consequential upon the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 which revoke the provisions removed from the list. It ensures, by adding regulation 11 of those Regulations to the list, that an employee who is suspended from work on medical grounds in consequence of that regulation is entitled to be paid remuneration by his employer under section 19 of the 1978 Act, where that section allows.
