Law at Work 2013

Chapter 2

AWRs to be reviewed

In Summer 2013, the government will conduct a “paperwork review” of the AWRs — “to ensure that the practical arrangements necessary for employers and agencies are as simple as possible”. Many in the coalition government are hostile to these regulations, regarding them as a “drag” on growth, but there is a limit to the changes that can be made without infringing European law.
