Navigate AWR
with Confidence
Temporary hiring in the UK comes with legal obligations—and we help you meet them with ease.
With 20+ years of experience in regulated labour markets, we manage every aspect of temporary workforce compliance, from onboarding and payroll to entitlement tracking and pay benchmarking. Whether you're hiring to scale delivery, cover absences or support short-term demand, we ensure your business is protected and your workforce is treated fairly.
What Is AWR?
Understanding Agency Workers Regulations (AWR)
The Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) are UK laws that give agency workers the right to equal treatment after 12 weeks in the same role. That includes:
• Equal pay
• Annual leave entitlement
• Rest breaks and working hours
• Access to facilities and collective rights
Failure to comply can result in backdated claims, audits or reputational risk. RIZE helps organisations avoid these outcomes through structured, transparent processes and compliant documentation.
Why AWR Compliance Matters
Without dedicated oversight, businesses can unintentionally fall short of AWR regulations. Common pitfalls include:
• Misclassifying workers
• Failing to monitor the 12-week threshold
• Inconsistent pay benchmarking
• Unclear or outdated contract terms
RIZE embeds AWR compliance into every process. We monitor milestones, align entitlements and maintain all documentation—so your business remains fully protected.
