Topic: Personal FinanceBy Alex AskewPublished Recently added
The aim of the new AWR (Agency Workers Regulation) is to provide agency workers with the same basic working and employment conditions to that of a comparable permanent employee after a qualifying period: The AWR will cover: • Equal Pay. • The same commissions, bonuses and over time rates. • Annual leave. • Night work. • Rest periods and breaks. • Access to staff facilities; i.e. canteens, childcare schemes and transport. • The right to hear about vacant job opportunities. The AWR will not cover: • Pensions. • Redundancy payouts. • Occupational sick pay. • Share schemes • Loyalty schemes or long term-service rewards • Any payment relating to mate ity, pate ity or adoption leave Upon implementation in October 2011, it will be much easier for an agency worker to claim an infringement on their rights under the AWR within a court of law or in front of an employment tribunal.
