Agency Worker regulations - the impact for employers

26.07.2011

On 1st October 2011 the new Agency Workers regulations come into force. This will give agency workers with contracts over 12 weeks the same basic working conditions and rights as their employed colleagues. This includes areas such as parity in basic annual salary, holiday allowances and rest breaks.

Please have a look at the link below which is from Canada Life, on the leading Group Risk Insurers. They outline the basics of the legislation and how this will affect the group risk market.
