The regulations came into force on 1 October 2011 and give agency workers the entitlement to:
- the same basic employment and working conditions as if they had been recruited directly;
- if and when they complete a qualifying period of 12 weeks in the same job.
We have taken immediate action to ensure compliance with this new legislation:
- Updated all of our contracts and procedures in line with Recruitment and Employment Confederation guidelines;
- Updated our recruitment system;
- Worked closely with current contractors and clients to ensure that they are aware of these changes and how they will be affected;
- Trained our team and have been out to various AWR conferences and events;
- Ensured all new vacancies are dealt with in accordance with the AWR regulations.
It has been a challenging couple of months for the team but we're confident that we are well prepared and fully briefed.
