Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Employment agencies and hirers will continue to be able to negotiate between them how liability for short-notice payments is allocated between them. We are aware that some pay arrangements between agencies and hirers may already exist when the requirement for agencies to cover the cost of short-notice payments comes into force. Such arrangements may not include any mechanism for the agency to be able to recover short-notice payments from hirers, and agencies might not have agreed to enter into such arrangements had they known that they would be required to make those payments.
