Nope, you have access to those from day one.

4. Equal treatment

From the day you start work you have a worker’s employment rights.

You also have the same rights as your permanent colleagues to use any shared facilities and services provided by your employer, for example:

a canteen or food and drinks machines
a workplace creche or mother and baby room
car parking or transport services, like a local pick-up service or transport between sites.

Rights after 12 weeks
After 12 weeks in the job you qualify for the same rights as someone employed directly. This is known as ‘equal treatment’.

Your rights include:

‘equal pay’ - the same pay as a permanent colleague doing the same job
automatic pension enrolment
paid annual leave
