Before its introduction in the UK, the Agency Workers Directive underwent considerable consultation between groups representing employers and employees. The initial plan was to give agency workers equal rights after six weeks.
Finally, the TUC and CBI reached agreement in May 2008. and Gordon Brown announced that the government would act in a 'mini Queen's speech later that month. The directive will give agency workers an entitlement to equal treatment after 12 weeks in a job. This covers basic working and employment conditions that would apply if the worker had been recruited directly to do the same job. Occupational social security schemes are outside the provisions. The directive must be implemented by 5 December 2011.
