Working For H&G
Regulations
The Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) and implementation of the Agency Workers Directive is the most significant legislation ever to hit the UK’s private recruitment industry – it will change the recruitment landscape forever, starting from October 2011. The implementation of the Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) in October 2011 will require recruitment agencies to review their own documentation to ensure that agencies fall into line with the Regulations. The Regulations are the most important legislation to affect the recruitment industry since the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations came into force in 2003. It is imperative that we support our clients to ensure they are ready for the Regulations. Guidance to the Regulations should be released in April 2011. Our Legal Team will have the guidance available immediately and legally compliant terms available end of June 2011.
As members of the REC we will keep our clients abreast of all legal implications In addition we will be offering training and webinars from July 2011. Presently we are evaluating the impact on our clients. Our planning tools, Payroll system and driver passport system from October 2011 we will have a platform to monitor your temporary usage in compliance with the new legislation.
