UK Employment law - whats my position?
I'm currently on a temp agency contract which is renewed every month. I work alongside permanent employees.
The organisation I work for are currently recruiting permanent staff and the implication seems to be that when they have recruited enough permanent staff, the temporary agency staff will be "let go".
I have applied for one of these permanent positions but my manager is dragging her feet, going on about how you have to get "the best person for the job" and how they've been "deluged with applicants" etc etc. I feel really hurt about this as I work really hard - my performance in my job has been very good, I can certainly do the job, as I've demonstrated to her. But this seems to count for nothing in her eyes.
Is it legal to just "let people go" like this without any reason, other than you preferred the new applicants to your existing temp staff? I just want to be sure I have no rights in this situation.
I used to work for one of the large agencies. I am afraid this is a common problem for temp staff.
It is NOT the case more often than not that the temp is not good enough for the job. It IS however, more likely that the company you are working temp for, DON'T want to pay the fees to the temp agency for taking you on permanently. The Fees are quite high.
If you are really disgruntled about this, ask your temp advisor to talk with them on your behalf. Loads of temps get into full time work like this.She will work on them for you, since you have been doing the job and doing it well by what you say. The Temp Advisor can point out to them, that this is an unfair situation.
