Welcome to awr advice,

The fundamental principle of the agency workers regulations is to provide agency workers with the same basic
working and employment conditions of a comparable permanent employee after a qualifying period; this being just 12 weeks. The regulations were implemented on 1st October 2011.

The agency workers regulations will create a re-shift in the way temporary workers are managed; whether via a recruitment agency, an umbrella company or directly with the end client, which is why Contractor Accountants Danbro; one of the UK's leading accounting and payroll specialists for contract, freelance and temporary workers decided to launch this site. Whether you are a recruiter, agency worker or hirer, you will find some great advice on the implications of AWR.

The Department of Business Innovation and Skills have now released the full guidance. You can download it by clicking here.
