    Swedish Derogation

    Hi Guys I am an agency worker and have been working for the same company for the last 10 months. After 4 months I phoned the agency about parity pay for the job I was am doing, to which they replied that they didn't pay parity pay as they came under Swedish Derogation law? I have only recently looked at this law which states this law Can only apply if I was on a pay between assignments contract, Which I am Not. I have since contacted my agency with theses findings. Their response was I had an employment status for the agency Not for the client. So do not come under A W R rules. I know this is not correct so just wanting some advice on my next step against the agency? Many Thanks Mark

    Can you post up an anonymised copy of your contract with the agency please in order that I can check two relevant clauses with recent case legislation.
    If you would like a one-to-one expert consultation with me on your employment issue than I can be contacted by emailing admin@legalbeaglesgroup.com

    I do not provide advice by PM although I may on occasion ask you to send me documents this way but any related advice will be provided back on your thread.

    I do my best to provide good practical advice, however I do so without liability.
    If you have any doubts then do please seek professional legal advice.

    You can’t always stop the waves but you can learn to surf.

    You are braver than you believe, smarter than you think and stronger than you seem.

            I have reviewed your contract and based on clause 2.2 you are effectively an employee of the agency and it goes on to say that Regulation 5 of the AWR does not apply in so far as that relates to parity of pay.

            Unfortunately, therefore the agency is correct that parity of pay is not applicable by virtue of this clause 2.2 of the contract you have with them.
