Agencyworkersregulations

Agency workers regulations give temporary staff supplied through an agency certain rights in relation to the businesses where they work, including access to some facilities and job vacancy information from day one, and rights to broadly equal treatment on pay and basic working conditions once a qualifying period has been completed.

Both the agency and the end user business have responsibilities under these regulations, and liability for getting it wrong can be shared between them. Businesses that rely on agency staff should have clear processes for tracking assignment length and ensuring comparable treatment once entitlement is triggered.
