Ethical trading

Rapid Employment & Recruitment Ltd is committed to providing a service that meets all legal requirements, so that our customers are fully confident that their Agency workers are being treated properly and fairly and all rules and regulations are being adhered to.

Gangmasters Licensing Act

Rapid Employment & Recruitment Ltd are proud to have been one of the first companies to have successfully achieved a Gangmasters License.
The License was introduced in response to well publicised abuses of laws and regulations by some labour providers. To achieve the License, Rapid was audited over a 2 day period, when all our operational procedures were thoroughly checked. A number of employees were interviewed to check that they were treated fairly and correctly.
The audit gives you and your customers the assurance that your Agency workers are well looked after and that all employment laws are strictly adhered to.
Confirmation of our license can be viewed on the Gangmasters Licensing Authority website.
From September 2006, it has been illegal for an Agency to operate without one. Furthermore, if a labour user has workers supplied by a labour provider who is not licensed, they commit an offence under Section 13 of the Gangmasters Licensing Act 2004. Failure to comply with the new legislation could result in the labour user being punished with up to 51 weeks in prison and £5000 fine.

Rapid is regularly inspected by both Government Agencies and our customers. They routinely find that Rapid operates to the highest of ethical standards.
