Quickly assess the extra cost your business incurs by engaging agency workers under the Agency Workers Regulations (AWR). Our calculator helps you quantify the financial impact of holiday and sick pay entitlements, so you can budget accurately and remain compliant.
What is the Agency Workers Directive (AWR)?
Introduced in October 2011, the AWR ensures that agency workers receive the same core employment terms, such as holiday, rest breaks, and sick pay, as permanent staff after 12 continuous weeks in the same role. Designed to promote fairness, the regulations place new obligations on businesses that rely on agency-supplied labour.
