swedish derogation workshop 

1 Day workshop for temporary work agencies and hirers

 

The Agency Workers Regulations 2012 came into force on 1 October 2011 and provide agency workers with a right to equal treatment in respect of basic working and employment conditions following completion of a 12 week qualifying period as they would have been entitled to if directly recruited by the hirer.

Regulation 10 contains an exemption from the requirement to provide equal treatment in so far as it relates to "pay".  This exemption has become known in the industry as the Swedish Derogation, or a pay between assignments model.

Regulation 10 requires that the agency must pay the agency worker a specified "minimum amount" of pay between assignments and be engaged by the agency on a permanent contract of employment.

In conjunction with Brabners Chaffe Street LLP, the Association of Labour Providers has organised a series of full day, detailed workshops on the provisions and practical ramifications of the Swedish Derogation.

Who should attend?

The workshops are targeted at agencies and hirers who are using or considering using the Swedish Derogation model with the emphasis on the need to work together to ensure that the Regulations are complied with and are implemented effectively, responsibly and to minimise risk.

 

 

The Workshop will help delegates understand:

  • The additional obligations of employing agency workers on a permenant contact of employment

  • The legal issues surrounding implementing and running the Swedish model

  • The operational considerations of paying between assignments

  • The practical issues such as transferring and terminating PBA contract workers

  • How to avoid and mitigate the risks of getting it wrong
