Resources For You 3

Advertising jobs

Be aware that specifically requesting extensive experience, or ‘dynamic’ candidates may violate the 2006 Age Discrimination Act. Advertising language needs to be carefully crafted not only to refrain from excluding applicants based on age, but also to avoid suggesting that a particular age group would be better suited for the job than another.

Employment law

Keeping up to date with your legal obligations when recruiting is extremely important. Employment law is constantly changing to reflect the evolving economy and the workplace. As an employer in the UK, you are subject to a complicated series of responsibilities, requirements and legal obligations to employees, potential employees and jobseekers.

 

Resources For You 4

Permanent staff

If you are recruiting permanent staff there is a lot to consider. We can help ensure you have everything in place for example -

  • Policies for example maternity leave and pay (even if your policy is to not offer these benefits)
  • Salary rates
  • Holiday entitlement, pension contributions and sick pay, and redundancy.

Temporary and Contract staff

If you are recruiting temporary staff or contractors to work for you through a recruitment agency, you must consider your relationship with the agency itself.

We can take you through the hiring process for new staff and help you understand the Agency Workers Regulations (laws that came into effect in 2011) and how you can be confident of being fully compliant.

Legal requirements of agencies placing temporary workers

When placing temporary workers at your organisation, we have a responsibility to:

  • Check the health and safety of the workplace
  • Take up references for the candidate
  • Give you all the information relating to the candidate that may be relevant.

You can be confident that when using an REC member agency your whole recruiting process adheres to all legal requirements and best practice.  We’ve successfully undertaken the REC’s Compliance Test to ensure we can guarantee that we are fully compliant with the law and abide by the REC’s Code of Professional Practice.
