About the Webinar
Agency workers can give organisations useful flexibility, especially when covering busy periods, absences or short-term staffing gaps. Still, these arrangements come with legal duties that employers should understand before problems arise.
This one-hour webinar gives employers, HR professionals and hiring managers a clear introduction to the legal considerations involved in hiring agency workers in England and Wales. It explains the key framework governing agency worker arrangements, including the Agency Workers Regulations 2010, and looks at how responsibilities are shared between the employment agency and the hirer.
The session will also cover agency worker rights and entitlements, along with the compliance risks that commonly affect businesses using temporary staff. You will learn where mistakes often happen, how to reduce risk and what practical steps can help keep arrangements fair, lawful and well managed.
This webinar is suitable for organisations that use agency workers regularly, as well as those that only bring them in from time to time.
Joining instructions and webinar links will be sent to the email address provided at registration 24 hours before the session.
