Health and Safety Law 2024

An EAT case established that part-time workers should be paid on the same basis as their full-time counterparts when attending a trade union training course. However, the EAT found that an employer had not breached the regulations by refusing to allow a part-time safety rep to attend a Stage 3 course on a day she would not normally work (Davies v Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council [1999] IRLR 769).
