WTTA: what does the new law mean for agricultural entrepreneurs who work with temporary agency workers?

The WTTA is fundamentally changing the way agricultural entrepreneurs collaborate with temporary employment agencies. Those who depend on flexible labor would be wise to prepare for the new rules now.

The agricultural sector – and in particular horticulture and open field crops – has relied on flexible labour for years. Seasonal peaks, varying harvest times, and weather dependency make the use of temporary agency workers indispensable. Precisely for this reason, the sector will face a significant change in the coming years: the Labour Provision Admission Act (WTTA).
