The Government is seeking views on the implementation into UK law of Directive 2008/104/EC on temporary agency work, usually referred to as the ‘Agency Workers Directive’. This affords agency workers equal treatment with regard to basic employment and working conditions as if they had been recruited directly by the end user. The qualifying period for the right to equal treatment in the UK will be 12 weeks’ employment.
The consultation document can be found on the Department for Business Innovation & Skills (BIS) website. The closing date for responses is 31 July 2009.
