R3cruit is a GLA Licensed company.
What does this mean?
The GLA is the UK government agency set up to protect workers from exploitation in agriculture, horticulture, shellfish gathering and food processing and packaging.
A wide range of sectors are covered by the GLA licensing scheme:
- agriculture
- forestry
- horticulture
- shellfish gathering
- food and drink processing and packaging
Who needs a licence
Section 4 of the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 specifies who needs a licence within these sectors. Generally, the following activities require a licence:
- supplying labour to work in the licensed sectors
- using workers to provide a service in the licensed sectors
- using workers to gather shellfish
If the work is done within the UK, a licence is still required even if you are based outside the UK.
Your business may not fall within the scope of the GLA, however, using a GLA Licensed Labour Provider ensures that they have been passed as a 'fit persons' and operate their business within the law.
