In terms of legislation this should be welcomed but it need to be policed others employers will play lip service to it the best people to do that is the trade union movement.

There use to be VAT exemption which meant that firms only paid VAT on the agency fee. Now the full cost of wages as well is liable to VAT. So employ someone “in-house” and save on agency fees and VAT. Time to reconsider in-house DLO’s? Maybe it should have also mentioned the financial case against agency working.
