Can
an agency charge me for finding work or registering me with them?
The
following is extracted from the DTI website
"A
fundamental principle of the Employment Agencies Act is that workers
cannot be charged for work finding services. The exceptions to this are
the entertainment and modelling sectors". DTI website updated April
2005
.
Under
the revised law in April 2004, it is lawful to charge a reasonable fee
for inclusion into a directory which must be made available to
subscribers as proof that such a directory exists.
