UKs EU policy reaps rewards

The UK's attitude to recruiting staff from the new EU member states has helped beat skills shortages without affecting unemployment, a new report reveals.
The European Commission claims the UK, Ireland and Sweden have all benefited by opening their labour markets to workers from across the continent.
The report shows that migration has had a positive economic effect and helped to fill vacancies, especially in the catering and construction industries.
Most other European nations have imposed tight restrictions on staff from the countries that joined the EU in 2004.
According to the report, the flow of foreign workers has been too small to swamp local markets, but the restrictions in other European countries have led to more undeclared migrant work.
However, some trade unions in Ireland have called for changes to the current immigration policy after large numbers of foreign workers were drafted into the country - now making up about 5% of the workforce.

Holiday pay debate rages

Temp agencies are likely to be able to continue to provide ‘rolled-up’ holiday pay following Europe’s top legal expert’s backing of the system. Agencies outside Scotland have the option of paying temps holiday pay on top of their wages. This means that they don’t have to pay temps while they are on holiday. The European Court of Justice’s (ECJ) advocate-general, Christine Stix-Hackl, backed the practice, provided agencies clearly show how much of a temp’s wage is holiday pay. Stix-Hackl gave her opinion to provide guidance to a court case, and it is expected that the ECJ will agree with her thinking. Kevin Barrow, lawyer at legal firm Tarlo Lyons, said Hackl also ruled that agencies must ensure temps take their minimum holiday entitlements on health and safety grounds.
