AGENCY WORKERS REGULATIONS - NEW LEGISLATION

The Government have been preparing to introduce new employment legislation on 1 October  this year called AWR (Agency Worker Regulations). The basics of this legislation are to ensure that temporary staff are provided with some of the same rights as permanent members of staff. Primarily this includes pay rates, working conditions and holiday pay (although these are not all).

In order to prepare for the introduction of this new legislation The Work Shop is more than happy to explain more about what the legislation requires employers and employees to do and what information we require. If you would like to discuss any aspect of AWR or would like a copy of our information document please call us on 01425 489393 or email us at info@thework-shop.co.uk.
