AWR Update
Ahead of the introduction of the new
Agency Worker Regulations (
AWR) that came
into effect from the 1st October 2011 Summit had been working extensively with
the legal department of the REC so that it could prepare both its clients and
candidates ahead of the implementation. We have made sure the proper processes
at Summit are in place going forward to ensure appropriate checks will be made
so that if the role is in scope of the legislation the proper actions can be
taken.
Following the introduction of this legislation, these processes will be
an ongoing part or our systems. We at Summit are more than happy to discuss the
AWR with any clients or candidates who have questions surrounding it and to see
if it has any impact on you. Our current customers both clients and contractors
have been contacted individually to discuss this with them.
So if you have any
queries feel free to call. In the future a new page on our website will be
available with more detailed information in the future.

REC Membership
Summit is delighted to announce that it has been accepted as a full member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC). Summit has always striven to be that little bit different from the raft of other agencies available to you, aiming to offer a personable and quality service to clients and candidates alike (just take a look at the
testimonials page on our website). We already have ISO9001 and ISO14001 accreditation but now, in addition, membership of the REC means that we are:
- Serious about Standards - REC members sign up to the REC's
Code of Professional Practice that provides a set of quality assurances for employers and jobseekers alike. Members with REC Audited status have been independently confirmed as fully compliant with industry regulations and best practice.
-
Serious about operating ethically - REC members pledge to comply with all relevant legislation, have fair and honest terms of business, actively promote diversity and equal opportunities and respect confidentiality.
-
Serious about being well informed - REC membership means that recruitment agencies are kept up to date with legislative changes and industry best practice to ensure they can act in the best interests of clients and jobseekers.
-
Serious about accountability - Should you feel that Summit does not uphold these standards, you have recourse through the REC
complaints and disciplinary procedures.
