Employment law relevance may rise as temping increases |
|
The demand for temporary workers in the economy is on the rise, it has been claimed, something that may lead to more people needing to be aware of their legal rights in such roles.
Director of external relations at the Recruitment and Employment Confederation Tom Hadley said the situation is exactly what should be expected in the present economic climate.
He said: "It mirrors what we've found in other recessions, that employers are using temporary workers because a lot of them are reluctant to commit to full-time recruitment."
Such a situation may mean that many of those currently seeking work will find a solution through short-term positions.
Those who find temporary jobs in the capital may wish to see employment lawyers in London to find out about the sort of rights they have in such work, compared with permanent jobs.
Figures from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KMPG Report on Jobs, published earlier this month, revealed that 60 per cent of employers were either reporting stable or increased demand for temporary workers in May.
