The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses (Amendment) has been published and adds Regulation 13A, which involves the creation of a Key Information Document (KID). It is intended to improve the transparency of information to agency workers. The document’s purpose is to demonstrate to workers how a proposed pay rate is affected by fees and deductions made through the supply chain. Where a business works with multiple umbrella companies, for example, it is expected to provide a key fact page to the worker for each provider. The document must be given to the worker before the employment business reaches an agreement on the terms. Key Information Questionnaire Example The document should set out key information about your relationship with your umbrella employer, including details about pay, holiday entitlement and other benefits. Here is a list of questions that should be included. General Information Your name Name of employment business Your employer (if different from above) Type of contract you will be engaged under Who will be responsible for paying you (if different from your employer) How often you will be paid Expected or minimum rate of pay Deductions from your pay required by law Any other deductions or costs from your pay (to include amounts or how they are calculated) Any fees for goods or services Holiday entitlement and pay Additional benefits Example Pay Example rate of pay Deductions from your wage required by law Any other deductions or costs from your wage Any fees for goods or services Example net take home pay Further information on the new Key Information Documents (KID) can be found here.
