Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Bill 2011: Report Stage (22 Feb 2012)

Clare Daly: Unless this issue is clarified, agency workers could be deprived of their rights because of the complexity of the enforcement process. By specifying the end-user employer and agency as jointly and severally liable, employment tribunals would be allowed to determine where responsibility for breaches of regulation lay.

Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Bill 2011: Report Stage (22 Feb 2012)

Clare Daly: This matter was discussed on Committee Stage. This is a positive suggestion which would improve the legislation.

This is a substantial loophole. It is the case that agencies have quite large numbers of staff.

Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Bill 2011: Report Stage (22 Feb 2012)

Clare Daly: Amendments Nos. 4, 6 and 10 are in some ways a repeat of the discussion that we had at Committee Stage and relate to the issue of equality on enhanced conditions of work and payment beyond the basics.
