26.1The council shall be the body responsible for the administration of this Agreement and without prejudice to section 24(1) of the Act may issue rulings not inconsistent therewith or with the Agreement, and legal interpretations thereof, for the guidance of employers and employees. The Council and its officials shall incur no liability whatsoever—

26.3.1         received from an employer or an employee; or

26.3.2 which an employer or employee is entitled to receive from the council and/or the Sick Pay Fund;

to or towards the payment of any debt or amount owing by the employer or employee to the council or any of those Funds, notwithstanding that the employer or employee may have allocated it to any other cause.

 

26.4Every employer shall be obliged to make available a legible summary of the provisions of this Agreement in the establishment, which shall be readily accessible to all employees.

 

26.5If any provision of this Agreement is inoperative or ultra vires in respect of the powers of the parties or the council, before or after conclusion of this agreement, this shall in no way affects the remainder of the Agreement, which in that event shall constitute the Main Collective Agreement.
