Corby Employment Agencies Forum Code

The Corby Employment Agencies Forum Code has been developed to encourage the common adoption of good practice in the employment of temporary workers in the town. We intend the Code to be a kind of ‘kitemark’ for those companies involved in the business of providing and using this kind of labour – a guarantee that they will operate in a legal, fair and socially responsible manner in these transactions. You can download the code here.

As you will see, it sets out three sets of responsibilities (reflected in the Three Hands branding) for those involved in temporary working:

Employment Agencies/Businesses
Their Client Companies
Temporary Workers themselves

The Code has been developed through a working party, comprising representatives from each of these three groups, together with the Association of Labour Providers, the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate, trades unions, Corby Borough Council and my office. Consequently, I am confident that we have created a set of standards that are both appropriate and capable of being applied within the industry.

I am delighted the local agencies and employers below have already signed up to the code:
