Employment Agents Act 1976

In relation to —

every person on behalf of whom he consents to try and procure employment; and

every person on behalf of whom he consents to try and procure an employee,

Every employment agent who refers persons seeking employment to other persons with a view to engagement or who, on behalf of an employer, makes an engagement with any person to enter employment with that employer, whether the engagement be absolute or contingent, shall give or forward to each prospective employee a form of “Notice of Employment Offered” signed by the employment agent, and specifying —

the name and address of the employment agent; and

the name and business address of the proposed employer; and

the name and residential address of the proposed employee; and

particulars of the employment offered by the employer including —

the nature of the employment;

the salary or wage;

such other details as to conditions relevant to the employment as the employer may supply.

Every “Notice of Employment Offered” shall contain a statement that the terms of the employment are a matter to be negotiated between the employer and the employee and that the particulars set out in the notice are given for guidance only.

Every employment agent —

shall keep as his own office record a copy of every form of “Notice of Employment Offered” in consecutive number order; and

shall insert on his office copy of that form —

the date employment is commenced; or

that no engagement was made in respect of the offer.

Any document or other record required by this Act to be signed or kept by an employment agent may be so signed or kept on his behalf by a person authorised by him, but the responsibility for ensuring that the requirement has been complied with remains with the employment agent personally.
