The second AWR or Agency Worker Regulation article concerns the time period that both the hirer and the Agency need to monitor when scheduling workers and giving the required notifications to the other relevant parties. The Act not only stipulates various periods and categories of employment and absence, but also explicitly states that there is not a sole organisation responsible for ensuring compliance. The Act states that both the hirer and the agency must work together exchanging information to ensure that the worker's rights are not infringed or abrogated.
For correct adherence to the Agency Worker Regulations (in force Oct 1st 2011), it is vitally important that employment is monitored accurately and reliably over an extended period. This period is significantly more than 12 weeks.
A future article will illustrate how a single workers employment over an extended period can be summarised in a simple report covering periods contributing to the 12 week clock and those resetting the 12 week clock.
