The Temporary Workers Directive (TWD): what do the consultation proposals tell us about how staffing companies will operate in the future?

details

Following a 'deal' between the CBI the TUC last May, the TWD was finally adopted into European law in October 2008. This seminar analysed the detailed proposals being made by BERR and in particular covered the following:

  • what new rights will the TWD create?
  • what type of temporary workers will be affected by the TWD?
  • who will be responsible for compliance and how will this work in practice?
  • how can supply models be structured to minimise the impact of the TWD?
  • the Swedish derogation

 

 

This seminar was attended by:

  • recruiters supplying the services of temporary workers and company contractors across all sectors
  • end-users
  • umbrella companies and other employment/payroll organisations
  • anyone supplying the services of individuals to end user clients, eg CIS intermediary payroll companies
