TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

These Regulations, which are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (which provision remains in force for the transition period due to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) and sections 18(8) and 18(9) of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996, implement provisions of Directive 2018/957/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 June 2018 (OJ L 173, 9.7.2018) amending Directive 96/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services (OJ 18, 21/01/1997) (“the Directive” and “the Posted Workers Directive” respectively). These Regulations implement the Directive by modifying the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 (“the 2010 Regulations”). The 2010 Regulations implement (in England and Wales and Scotland and, in relation to some provisions, also Northern Ireland) Council Directive 2008/104/EC of 19 November 2008 on temporary agency work (OJ L 327, 5.12.2008, p.9) (“the Agency Workers Directive”). The Agency Workers Directive establishes a general framework for protection of temporary agency workers.
