Following the enactment of the Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Act in 2012, the HSE provided guidance to public service employers on the Act, including the fact that the equal pay provisions of the Act have retrospective effect to 5 December 2011. All agency staff employed through agencies contracted by the HSE have now had their basic pay adjusted in accordance with the Act. The question of payment of any outstanding retrospective amounts due to a specific company is a matter for the HSE, and as such, the Deputy's enquiry has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
