Q&As

In relation to a pregnant agency worker with less than the 12 weeks’ qualifying period, do the obligations and safeguards in relation to risk assessments, altering working conditions or hours of work, and offering suitable alternative work under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSW Regs 1999), SI 1999/3242 apply, or is it only the general health and safety duties under MHSW Regs 1999, regs 3(1) and 16(1) that apply? If the pregnant agency worker’s assignment is terminated because she is pregnant, is her only recourse to argue that this amounts to discrimination under section 18 of the Equality Act 2010?

In relation to an agency worker who has been placed with an end-user client since November 2017, and who applied for a job with, and was given a conditional offer of employment by, the end-user client, is there any risk to that end-user client if they were now to decide to withdraw their offer of employment, eg could the agency worker in any event be regarded an employee of the end-user despite the terms of the arrangement with the agency stipulating that they are not, or could the end-user be otherwise contractually bound by their offer?
