Agency Workers Directive

In advance of the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 coming into force in October 2011, we are now beginning the process of holding discussions with our clients to try and evaluate the impact on both the sector in general and on our own customer relationships.

 

The outcome of a long consultation process is a legislative document which is designed  to give agency workers the right to the same basic working and employment conditions as they would be entitled to for doing the same job had they been recruited directly. As with much legislation, however, the detail of the paper holds within it the key to how this may affect the relationships between agencies and worker, and between agencies and their clients. 

 

We at Extraman have been following the process through from consultation to law, and our industry bodies have been proactive in seeking to establish a fair and equitable outcome that balances the rights of workers with the benefits of this market sector to the economy. We continue to assess the way in which the legislation will change the methods of operation, and to this end the input of our own clients is greatly valued.

 

Adrian Gregory, joint MD, will be contacting all of our clients over the coming months, but any of those wishing for an immediate update and dialogue are welcome to contact him. Adrian's email is apg@extramanrecruitment.co.uk or he may be called on our Head Office number: 020 7373 3045.
