Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

While most individuals are paid by agencies, the client company makes the payment in a small number of instances and the second amendment will cater for both eventualities. The amendments will resolve any ambiguity that may exist in relation to the insurability of agency workers. Given that many such workers tend to work in the more exposed sectors of the economy, the provisions will ensure that they are afforded the protection of the social insurance system. Questions of insurability of employment which arise will be examined and decided on by the insurability of employment unit in my Department.
