The Agency Workers Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/93) are due to come into force in just four months - on 1 October 2011. The Regulations are a significant piece of legislation and employers should be preparing for their introduction now to avoid falling foul of the law.
The one-day XpertHR conference on the Agency Workers Regulations, which takes place on 15 June 2011 in London, will provide delegates not only with relevant legal advice but also practical guidance.
The conference will help delegates to understand:
- the new definitions and changes introduced by the Regulations;
- how to calculate the 12-week qualifying period;
- the equal treatment obligations; and
- liability and enforcement of the Regulations.
In addition, there will be panel discussions on, among other things:
- employing agency workers as full-time employees;
- using managed service contracts;
- “stopping the clock” before 12 weeks;
- evaluating what processes agencies must have in place to reduce the risk of claims;
- examining how to advertise internal vacancies to employees and agency workers; and
- identifying pay differentials and collective facilities to clarify the risk of equal treatment claims.
XpertHR has put together a resource pack, rounding up information on, and relevant to, the Agency Workers Regulations, to help subscribers get the most out of the conference. The pack includes guidance on the Regulations, recent case law on agency workers and links to relevant benchmarking data on XpertHR.
All XpertHR subscribers who book places on the XpertHR conference on the Agency Workers Regulations are entitled to a £50 discount (per delegate). Subscribers, after logging in, can find the code needed to claim the discount here.
