The UK national minimum wage and age discrimination
The national minimum wage in the UK took effect from 1 April 1999. From the beginning it has treated workers under the age of 22 years as a separate group, now paying them a development rate, rather than the full adult rate. The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 contained an exception for the age-related pay levels. The issue discussed is whether the lower rates paid to 18–21-year-olds and 16–17-year-olds can be objectively justified in …
Age Discrimination, Redundancy Payments and Length of Service
This note discusses three cases which have considered objective justification for the apparent contradiction between rewarding age and length of service in redundancy payments and the need not to discriminate on the grounds of age.

The Equal Treatment in Employment a…

Transfers of undertakings a new meaning
Defining the meaning of a transfer of an undertaking in the context of outsourcing has led to much litigation. After years of discussion the Acquired Rights Directive, which has been the source of much confusion and misunderstanding, has been amended. Unfortunately, the new Directive does little more than follow the approach of the European Court of Justice and has done little to make matters more certain. This article examines the change of defi…
