An Amendment to The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 - a Public Consultation 2009

Summary:

The Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 and the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 (‘the Conduct Regulations’) govern the conduct of the private recruitment industry and set minimum standards for Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses operating from premises in Northern Ireland. All Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses must comply with the provisions in the legislation which are designed to protect both work-seekers and hirers. The purpose of this consultation is to gather information and views (from interested parties including those who may be affected by the proposed amendments to the Conduct Regulations) on a package of measures designed to clarify the lines of responsibility between agencies and hirers, further reduce regulatory burdens, target abuse and ensure that essential protections remain in place for the most vulnerable agency workers. DEPARTMENTAL RESPONSE ON CONDUCT REGULATIONS AMENDMENTS 2010 HAS BEEN ISSUED.
