Explanatory Note.
(This Note is not part of the regulations, but is ittended In indicate their general purport).
The necessity for the amendments, all of which are of a purely technical nature, made by those regulations to the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Regulations, 1955 (the principal regulations) has come ta light in the course of preparation of the forms to be prescribed under the provisions of regulation 10E of the principal regulations.
2. Paragraph (3) of regulation 9 of the principal regulations requirės, inter alio, that, when the proprietor of an industrial undertaking intends to change the period of employment or the interval for meals or rest fixed by notice under paragraph (1) of that regulation, be shall give notice of his intention to make such change to the Commissioner and to hia employees. It is now considered that a mere notice of intention to make such change is not of any real assistance to the employees. It is desired, therefore, to provide that tha proprietor shall, in lieu of giving such notice of intention to the employees, post a notice is the form prescribed for the purposes of paragraph (1) of regulation 9, which shall specify the new period of employment or the new interval for meals or rest and the other matters required by paragraph (1) to be specified, and shall, in addition, specify the day on which such change is to come into operation. It is also desired that the notice to the Comunissioner of intention to make any such change shall be sant, and the notice now required to be posted in the industrial undertaking shall be posted, not less than forty eight hours before such change is to come into operation. Regulation 2 of these regulations makes the necessary provisions, and also provides that s notice posted in accord- ance with paragraph (3) of regulation 9 shall, upon the coming into operation of such change, be deemed to have been posted under paragraph (1) thereof This will obviate the necessity for the employer to post a further notice in order to comply with paragraph (1) of "regulation 9.
3. The object of the amendment made by regulation 3 of these regulations to regulation 10 of the principal regulations is to make it clear that more than one form and more than one register may be prescribed for the purposes of sub-paragraph (6) of parágráph (5) of regulation 10. Thus, for example, if, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (9) of regulation 10, the Commissioner permits overtime to be calculated by reference to the individual, it will, for obvious reasons, be necessary to prescribe a form of register different from that which will be prescribed if overtime is to be calculated by reference to the undertaking. It is considered that this is not entirely clear as the regulation stands and this amendment seeks to remove any doubt in the matter.
