Consultation description

We’re seeking views on recommendations made in the Good Work: Review of modern employment practices published on July 7 2017.

It looks at:

  • how to increase transparency of contractual arrangements for agency workers
  • how umbrella companies or intermediaries could be brought within the scope of the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate (EAS)

It also seeks to gather evidence on the level of abuse of the ‘Swedish Derogation’ with consideration of whether EAS’ remit should be extended to cover the enforcement of the Agency Workers Regulations.
