Agency Workers Regulations (AWR)

From the 1st October 2011, agency workers will be entitled to new rights under the Agency Workers Regulations (AWR). The implementation of the Regulation will impact upon every business that utilizes temporary workers within the UK.

The purpose of the Regulation is to ensure that agency workers benefit from the same basic working and employment conditions as if they had been directly employed by the end user.
