Forties People: The Recruitment agency with a mature
outlook and an innovative approach!
|
|
Last month I said I would talk about AWR, this is a brief outline; more information will be posted on our web site, and in our monthly newsletter, nearer to October. The Agency Workers Regulations 2010 (‘the Regulations’) will come into force in England, Scotland, and Wales on 1st October 2011. The Regulations stem from the EU Temporary Workers Directive 2008 which gives agency workers the right to the same pay and other working conditions enjoyed by a hirer’s own workers. Importantly, the Regulations do not alter an agency worker’s employment status i.e. they do not make an agency worker an employee of either the hirer or the agency.
The UK has secured a derogation period of 12 weeks. This means that an agency worker will only be entitled to equal treatment once s/he has completed 12 weeks’ of service in the same role with the same hirer (there are two exceptions, relating to access to the client’s facilities and information on vacancies at the client which apply from day one of an assignment). The Regulations also give pregnant agency workers new rights.
At Forties People we will be working with our client to make sure you have all the tools in place and are within the new legislation if you have or need long term temps.
If you would like to discuss the imact on your business then please give us a call on 020 7329 4044.
