The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses (Amendment) Regulations 2010 [SI 2010/1782] will come into force on 1 October 2010.
The regulations provide employment protection rights for workers such as actors, dancers, musicians and models, e.g. an agency cannot charge an upfront fee for work finding services from a model.
Regulation 10 will remove the requirement for agencies to carry out suitability checks for work-seekers if they are not working with a vulnerable person.
A vulnerable person is “any person who by reason of age, infirmity, illness, disability or any other circumstance is in need of care or attention, and includes any person under the age of eighteen.”
Further information about the regulations can be found on the Business Link website.
