In this clip, Adrian Marlowe, CEO of Lawspeed and Chairman of the Association of Recruitment Consultancies (ARC), explains why recruiters, staffing firms, and employers should be paying close attention to the Employment Rights Act 2025 consultation.
Key concerns include:
• Hirers potentially being required to offer temporary workers direct employment after 12 weeks
• The possible loss of transfer and permanent placement fees
• Increased employment tribunal risks for employers
• Reduced flexibility for businesses using temporary labour
• The wider impact on agency recruitment and economic growth
The consultation closes on 25 August, and the recruitment industry now has an opportunity to influence the outcome before legislation is introduced in 2027.
Do you think these proposals are good for workers, bad for business, or somewhere in between?
