Our partners at Contractor Calculator, the largest independent website specialising in the contacting industry, has calculated that labour costs for UK business will rise from 10-20 per cent if the Agency Workers Directive is passed today.
Industry expert, Dave Chaplin, has broken down the costs as follows:
For a contractor who is paid 10 pounds per hour, and who works 47.2 weeks per year, the additional cost of holiday alone adds 10% to what the employer paid previously.
If the worker is sick for a week, the total cost goes to a 13% increase per year to the employer (£2,370).
This makes the extra cost to UK business based on 1.3 million workers averaging £10 per hour: £3,081,281,385 (3 billion).
A dedicated Agency Workers Directive Impact Calculator for cost breakdowns under the directive has been set up here.
