Employment Agency Amendment Regulations

The conduct of employment agencies and businesses is governed by (amongst other things) The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003. From 8 May 2016, these are amended by the newly published The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses (Amendment) Regulations 2016.

The main change is the removal of the requirement for employment agencies/businesses to agree terms, and enter into a written contract, with hirers before providing any services.

There are other, subsidiary changes, including a requirement for the regulations to be reviewed by the Secretary of State every five years and some tweaking to the requirements for job adverts.
