Query about my employment rights

William

Hi All

Sorry if this isn't in the right forum but I don't have full access just now and I really need some help. I have been working for a company for 3 months now as an agency worker, so am past 12 weeks. I cannot find anywhere whether my rights under the AWR extend to company perks. So for example where all directly employed staff get access to local discounts or offers, voucher schemes, etc. Would I be entitled to these as well or does it not extend to these type of 'fringe' benefits?

Many thanks.

    Yes that may be true in some cases, but working in a professional environment like HR the main advantage would be getting a permanent role! I get what you are saying if for environments such as warehouses or manufacturing where there may be a lot of agency workers, some of whom get taken on as employees later. For me on a long term FTC I am obviously looking for other roles because it can take a long time to find something suitable and I don't think there is prospect of being kept on permanently anyway.
