Agency Worker Regulations
Agency Worker Regulations (AWR) 2010, is the introduction of new rights for agency workers and came into force on 1st October, 2011. This is the most significant piece of legislation to affect the hiring of temporary staff for several years.
The purpose of the new legislation is to give agency workers the right to the same basic employment and working conditions as a staff member recruited directly by a company in the same position, if and when they complete a 12 week qualifying period in a temporary assignment.
