26: Clause 3, page 24, leave out lines 7 to 10 and insert—
“(9) For the purposes of this Chapter, references to the movement of a shift (however expressed)—(a) are to any change to the time at which the shift is to start that is a change of more than a specified amount of time;(b) include—(i) where a shift is in two or more parts, a change of more than a specified amount of time to the time at which the second (or a subsequent) part is to start, and(ii) a division of a shift into two or more parts where the time between the parts is more than a specified amount of time,but only if the change or division (as the case may be) results in the shift ending later.”Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment expands the meaning of the movement of a shift for the purposes of the provisions inserted into the Employment Rights Act 1996 by clause 3 of the Bill so as to deal with changes to the start time of a part of a shift or the division of a shift into parts.
