- Course Aims:
This pair of podcasts aims to identify some of the most interesting practical and legal issues surrounding the implementation of the most heralded Agency Worker Regulations 2010. Following a detailed discussion of the day-1 rights in part 1, this podcast focuses on the pay and remuneration rights for agency workers under the regulations. It addresses the definition of pay and relevant exclusions. It addresses the extent to which a comparator can be used by a hirer as a defence on pay issues, the so called ‘Swedish Derogation’ and its likely uptake by hirers and the issue of liability for pay disputes concerning agency workers.
- Outcomes:
- After completing the course you will:
- Understand what constitutes pay for the purposes of the 12-week rights under the regulations;
- Understand where bonuses and expenses come within the meaning of pay;
- Know the extent to which a comparator could be used as a defence to deny their agency worker rights;
- Understand how the comparator can be deployed to restrict the pay of agency workers;
