The BIS Agency Workers Regulations Guidance goes through the key provisions of the Regulations with illustrative examples.

The Guidance contains the following sections:
1) Introduction
2) Scope
3) In Scope
4) Out of Scope
5) Qualifying for ‘equal treatment’
6) How to identify ‘basic working and employment conditions’ and the relevance of a “comparator”
