Who is an agency workers employer?

Is an agency worker an employee?
Other agency workers are permanent employees of the employment agency, directly employed by the agency and sent to work for different businesses. The only way to be certain about your employment status is to look at your contract terms.
Do staffing agencies take part of your pay?
Staffing agencies typically charge 25% to 100% of the hired employee’s wages. So, for example, if you and the staffing agency have agreed on a markup of 50%, and the new employee earns an hourly wage of $10, you will pay the agency $15 per hour for their work.
What happens if you get a job through an agency?
Job seekers can apply to specific jobs through the staffing agency, or can simply contact the staffing agency looking for a job. The agency interviews the job seekers and places them in appropriate positions. Typically, the agency then pays the selected candidate to work for the client company.

A furlough day is, somewhat confusingly, a day during which an employee is either fully furloughed, or under a flexible working arrangement. So if the employee is on furlough for the whole month (which the government define as ‘fully furloughed’), then this will be the same as the number of days in the pay period.
Can I be put back on furlough?
You will not be able to furlough them until the end of the 8 weeks, or the date that you have agreed they can return to work.
