By contacting an agency the grade of employee can be selected
from records and appropriate personnel, introduced within a matter
of a day or two, all ready to commence duties. The introduction
fee payable is related to earnings with usually a guarantee refund
if the employee leaves within a number of weeks. The employer
is responsible for satisfying himself as to qualification and
references of the person introduced.
Temporary staff are employed by the Agency, who pay their
wages, S.E.T. and other statutory requirements. The hirer merely
pays the agency an agreed fee according to the number of hours
worked.
All applications for agency licences are carefully vetted and
premises intended for use inspected. Annual reinspection as well
as spot checks during the year are also made.
At the end of 1971 thirty-one agencies operated under licence
issued by the Local Authority.
