Agency worker law

Legal Concepts and Doctrines

Agency worker law is a body of law regulating employment agencies and the labour law rights of people who obtain jobs through them. A typical arrangement involves a person approaching an employment agency, which then sends that person to an actual employer for work. Terminology for these arrangements varies across jurisdictions, including labour hire, labour brokering, labor contracting, permatemping and agency worker arrangements.
