Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

This new clause reproduces the provision previously found in clause 46(2) to (4) that ensures that the provisions of Chapter 2 of Part 3 also apply in relation to agency workers who are not otherwise “workers” as defined by clause 46. It also ensures that, where an agency worker does not have a worker’s contract, this does not prevent the agency worker from bringing a claim in an employment tribunal under Part 2 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, or in civil proceedings on a claim in contract, for a failure to pay the remuneration to which the agency worker would be entitled as a result of an agreement or regulations under Chapter 2.
