5. Supplementary Benefit
6. Leave of Absence to Attend Interviews
7. Employees Reinstated

10. Students
11. Additional Points

And several Appendices:

1. Areas of ICL to which Security of Employment Agreement Applies
2. Special measure for: employees over 65/on Long Term Sickness/part time Epmployees working less than 16 hours per week
3. ICL Hourly-rated Employees Pension Scheme

UPDATE TO THE SEA

15 months after the SEA was signed, ICL and the unions agreed a second update agreement, clarifying how consultation would take place. This is significant because it makes it even clearer that ICL should give a 90-day consultative period regardless of the numbers of redundancies in each establishment, and point 4 also clarifies when the 90-day consultative period is deemed to have started.
