Agency workers

Also see:  Working Hours

Temporary and contract workers now play an important role in providing flexibility for UK businesses. Employers who use recruitment agencies are responsible for what they do, so they must be sure the agency acts appropriately and in accordance with their equality and diversity policies.

For individuals seeking more information, see The Law on Employment Agencies at the website for the Department for Business Regulatory Reform (BERR). (opens in a new window)
