The Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) were implemented on 1 October 2011. Ace Hire
Recruits Ltd has created this guide to outline the primary entitlements that our
temporary workers may possess under the AWR and to offer practical
recommendations to assist you in determining the appropriate actions to take.
Mitigating the impact of the AWR on your business
The AWR pose several challenges for both us and your business. However, at Ace Hire
Recruits Ltd, we view this as an opportunity to foster a closer working relationship. We
have implemented new documentation and procedures to facilitate compliance with the
AWR, and we are committed to assisting you in understanding how the AWR will impact
your business. We believe that gathering and exchanging pertinent information at an
early stage is crucial for establishing best practices and ensuring that the temporary
workers we provide receive their entitlements under the AWR.
Whom do the AWR apply to?
The AWR apply to the temporary workers we supply to work on assignments for you.
What entitlements do temporary workers possess?
From day one on an assignment, a temporary worker we have supplied to you will have
a right to use your facilities and amenities; e.g., canteen, drinks vending machine, car
park, gym, crèche and “similar facilities” (AWR regulation 12).
Upon completion of 12 weeks on a comparable or identical assignment, a temporary
worker provided by us will be entitled to fundamental working and employment
conditions as if the worker had been directly hired by you.
