If your organisation hires temporary or casual
staff through an agency, to cover busy periods, or as an additional
resource on a more frequent basis then you need to know about
the changes to the law.
New regulations give agency workers the entitlement to the same
treatment as other employees with respect to basic employment
and working conditions, after they complete a qualifying period
of 12 weeks in a particular job.
These conditions include the same basic hourly pay rate, overtime,
shift allowances, unsocial hours’ premiums, payments for
difficult or dangerous duties, lunch vouchers, bonuses for the
quality and quantity of work, rest breaks and annual leave allowance.
Employment Tribunals can impose fines on employers found to have
breached the new laws or not followed the detail of the new regulations.
Acas has issued guidance on the Agency Worker Regulations and
what the changes will mean for employers. Please visit the Acas
website for more information.
