119: Clause 45, page 67, line 10, at end insert— “(8) Subsections (5) to (7)—(a) do not apply in relation to a term or condition of a social care worker’s employment if, and to the extent that, giving effect to the regulations would alter the term or condition to the social care worker’s detriment;(b) do not prevent the terms and conditions of a social care worker’s employment from including a term or condition that is more favourable to the social care worker than that which would otherwise have effect by virtue of those subsections.”Member's explanatory statement This amendment provides that, where a Social Care Negotiating Body has been unable to reach an agreement about a matter and the appropriate authority makes regulations about the matter, the regulations cannot alter a person’s terms and conditions of employment to make the person worse off, and do not prevent an employer from offering more favourable terms and conditions than those provided for by the regulations.
