The Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) come into force on 1st October 2011 and these put added burden on the requirements of people employing agency workers. This affects the end client where the contractor is working, the recruitment agency who places the contractor and any umbrella company if the contractor is being employed through them.
The good news is that by working with PayMatters we can help take away some of this burden.
Due to come into force in October 2011 the Agency Workers Regulations aim to ensure "“the basic working and employment conditions of temporary agency workers shall be, for the duration of their assignment at a user undertaking, at least those that would apply if they had been recruited directly by that undertaking to occupy the same job”.
There had been some specualtion that although contractors working through Umbrella Companies were initially going to be caught by the new regulations the new Tory Government would review this and make them outside their scope (as contractors working through their own limited companies are outside the scope).
At PayMatters we are open to all options to address the Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) to ensure contractors working through our umbrella company have at least parity with permanent staff performing the same role at the same client.
