Government confirms final agreement on agency worker directive
The Government has confirmed it will implement the Agency Workers Directive in 2011, which was announced in the Queen's speech last week.
The rule, which will give temporary workers the same rights as permanent workers after 12 weeks, including holiday entitlement and pay, will be introduced into UK law in 2010 but will not come into force until October 2011.
