Petition Recruitment agencies must pay all workers lunch break.

More details

Employment agencies/recruitment agencies under new legislation must pay all workers for their lunch breaks.

Most agencies that recruit for end clients don't currently pay workers for their lunch breaks even though the end client pays regular employee's for their breaks.

I want new legislation to force employment agencies to pay workers for breaks when working for any UK company. I want to end the greed culture in recruitment currently.

Some workers could be getting paid minimum wage & take an hour for break & not get paid for it.
