(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations implement provisions of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (OJ No. L303, 2.12.2000, p.16) in so far as it relates to disability discrimination in the payment of agricultural wages. They are also a consequence of the revocation of regulation 6 of the Disability Discrimination (Employment) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/1456) by regulation 3 of the Disability Discrimination (Employment Field)(Leasehold Premises) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/153).
Section 5 of the Agricultural Wages Act 1948 (c. 47) provides for the grant of permits exempting an agricultural employer from the requirement to pay an incapacitated worker the full statutory minimum wage set by Agricultural Wages Orders. These Regulations repeal section 5 of the 1948 Act, paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 to the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 (c. 39), and paragraph 2 of Part 2 of Schedule 9 to the Employment Protection Act 1975 (c. 71). They also revoke regulation 16(a) of the Agricultural Wages Committees Regulations 1949 (S.I. 1949/1885) and Article 6(2) of the Agricultural Wages Committees (Transitional Provisions) Order 1974 (S.I. 1974/514). They come into force on 1st October 2004.
