E-Newsletter » August 2011

It’s quite a shocking headline isn’t it, to think that the Agency Worker Directive that comes into force on October 1st could cost your business £39,148 per year? Our example is based on 10 client audits we have already, who use an average of 10 workers per day for 7 hours. The good news is that Impact Recruitment Services have identified some mitigating options, so if you haven’t already done so, please make sure you call us on 01604 239555 to book an AWD Audit. It could be the most important phone call you make this year or the most expensive one you don’t!

So, the summer holidays are upon us and we’re all having fun – aren’t we?! Often the reality is that this time of year is one of the most stressful for businesses. For us, it’s the time of year where we really come into our own, providing temporary and permanent workers to keep business performance on track. This is why we’ve decided to bring a new feature to our newsletter, ‘Candidate’ and ‘Temp’ of the month’. Quite often it’s seeing the details of a strong candidate that highlights the right opportunity and fit within your business.

If you like what you see or want to find out more information on anything in our newsletter just click Ask Impact or call on 01604 239555.

Best wishes, Paul Hooper Operations Director
