Calming the AWR storm. What giant can offer

AWR is not as complicated as some are led to believe. In fact, it’s relatively straightforward. The legislation comes into force on 1 October 2011 and seeks to protect temporary workers by ensuring they have the same pay and working conditions as if they were recruited directly by the hirer.

giant can offer two solutions:

Pay comparator model

Ensuring that you’re completely compliant with AWR regulation, this solution incorporates assistance with the flow of comparable pay information, and calculates and confirms to the agency AWR pay comparator compliance.

Pay between assignments model

Commonly known as the ‘Swedish Derogation’, this solution ensures that the employee is outside the AWR legislation in respect of comparative pay. We will offer our clients a simple, straightforward approved solution that is fully compliant, without any additional cost to the hirer or agency, and without any surprises.
