In this podcast Darren Newman and Tom Flanagan discuss the draft provisions of the Draft Agency Workers Regulations 2010 published in October 2009. Although not due to be implemented until 2011, this first draft provides industry stakeholders an opportunity to speculate on how they will be applied. Although controversial in their development, the aim of the regulations would appear simple – to ensure equal treatment between employees and agency workers.
