AWD vote signals next step on EU temp work regulations but implementation must be delayed23/10/2008 09:34:00“The UK’s £26.6 billion recruitment industry will be directly affected by the new legislation. Today’s vote is extremely significant as the focus will now shift onto how the Equal Treatment Regulations will be applied in the UK." “The REC has been leading this debate through its Agency Work Commission which aims to ensure that UK implementation is practical and workable for both employers and recruiters. However, in the current economic climate we’re calling for the implementation of these regulations to be pushed back to avoid putting more jobs at risk. “In the current downturn, temporary jobs are a vital resource for employers who are unwilling to take on permanent staff as well a providing opportunities for jobseekers. Temporary workers will also play a vital role as the economy picks up. It is essential therefore that we avoid adding any unnecessary bureaucracy and cost to the provision of agency workers.” onrec.com news can only be reproduced with the permission of onrec.com or if onrec.com is attributed as the source.
