Adapt and the AWR ( Agency Worker Regulations)

The 01st of October 2011 will herald the dawn of a new era for the recruitment industry: The arrival of the AWR ( Agency Worker Regulations) will force agencies affected by the regulations to change the way they work - and re-evaluate how their systems can help them stay compliant.

At Bond we have taken the AWR very seriously. We want you know know that we are STILL the software partner to trust to guide you through the ever-changing recruitment landscape - no matter how big you are or how far you want to reach....

A media furore has surrounded the legislation since even before the regulations were first announced - as many recruiters and hirers are concerned about the implications it may have on day-to-day tasks.

Bond Adapt can help you and your clients remain compliant with AWR using the new functionality to be made available soon: From managing the AWR 'clocks'  through to managing the Swedish Derogation - we have it covered.

The latest version of Bond Adapt is being configured to handle the implications of the AWR ( Agency Worker Regulation).

This legislation comes into force this October - and we want you to be ready for it!

Bond Adapt will help you and your clients remain compliant with AWR. Key areas of the AWR Adapt will help you with, will include:
