Temporary Agency Workers Directive
The Temporary Agency Workers Directive (AWD) which was first published in 2002 set out to give temporary agency workers equal treatment after 12 weeks. This will mean that temporary workers will need to be paid the same and have the same access to holidays, rest breaks, overtime and public holidays.
EU Ministers finally reached an agreement in June 2008 and this common position was formerly adopted by the European Parliament in October 2008. Although the AWD came into force on 5 December 2008, member states have three years to implement it. There will be a detailed consultation in 2009 on the options for UK implementation of the Directive. The Government hopes to introduce the necessary legislation in the current Parliamentary session.
