Agency Workers: Law and HR Best Practice
Sponsored links
29 Sep 2010
The Agency Workers Directive (AWD) has been on the horizon for a long time. In January, the final regulations implementing the Directive, became law. The new regulations come into full force in October 2011 and shrewd employers are already considering their impact on employment practices and their business.
Agency workers account for a significant proportion of Britain’s workforce and provide organisations with a unique flexibility and an essential resource to fill the skills gap - will you still be able to use agency workers to increase flexibility or will they now become a burden? When agency workers are given equal rights, what will be the impact on your holiday, sickness, maternity and absence policies? These are just some of the questions that organisations and HR must consider before the regulations are implemented next year – are you prepared?
JSB’s Agency Workers: Law and HR Best Practice event will identify the key challenges for HR and resourcing professionals in navigating the complicated legal landscape to avoid costly disputes and optimise the use of temporary labour.
This event is CPD accredited.
