Background to the research
The Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) appointed RSM McClure Watters to undertake research into Agency Workers Regulations (NI) 2011.
The purpose of the research is to:
- Assess the impact of the Regulations on Agency Workers, agencies and hiring businesses;·
- Gather detailed information on the profile of Agency Workers; and
- Assess the extent to which Agency workers are aware of their rights.
DEL wish to gain a better understanding of the impact of the Agency Workers Regulations (NI) 2011 to ensure that they are providing appropriate rights for Agency Workers whilst ensuring that the requirements placed on businesses are not too onerous.
This survey is being issued to all employment agencies that supply agency workers on temporary contracts or pay between assignment contracts (‘Swedish Derogation’) in Northern Ireland.
