Agency worker law refers to a body of law which regulates the conduct of employment agencies and the labour law rights of people who get jobs through them. The typical situation involves the person going to an employment agency and then the employment agency sending the person to an actual employer for proper work.

Such arrangements are referred to by different terminology across jurisdictions. Some examples of terms used are labour hire, labour brokering, labor contracting, permatemping, or 'agency worker' arrangements.
