Section 68B

(1) Where the supply of an agency worker to a hirer is ended on maternity grounds and the temporary work agency has available suitable alternative work, the agency worker has a right to be offered to be proposed for such alternative work. (2) For alternative work to be suitable for an agency worker for the purposes of this section— (3) Subsection (1) does not apply— the work must be of a kind which is both suitable in relation to her and appropriate for her to do in the circumstances, and the terms and conditions applicable to her whilst performing the work, if they differ from the corresponding terms and conditions which would have applied to her but for the fact that the supply of the agency worker to the hirer was ended on maternity grounds, must not be substantially less favourable to her than those corresponding terms and conditions. where the agency worker has confirmed in writing that she no longer requires the work-finding services of the temporary work agency, or beyond the original intended duration, or likely duration, whichever is the longer, of the assignment which ended when the supply of the agency worker to the hirer was ended on maternity grounds.
