thanks for the replies- how strong is the last comment. I`ve read that the opt out must be in place before any introduction - is this correct? If so every "opt out" request is not valid since most agencies state it after an interview, contract etc

The wording of the legislation is ambiguous:

provided that such notice is given before the introduction or supply of the work-seeker

Agents read "introduction" as "introduction into the workplace" rather than "we have introduced you to the contractor, and now you can reasonably identify them".

Without a legal precedent, we don't have that clarity. Also, if you look at BIS vs CNL, part of that case hinged on the agency saying "ah, we aren't an employment business (even though the contract says we are an employment business!), and therefore we aren't bound by the regulations so there is nothing to opt out of".

I'd get the invoice in. I'd get the facts together so that you can argue it. And then if you still don't get paid then either file a small claims court case against the agency or speak to a professional about it.

They get give you a legal opinion on that piece of legislation through their legal helpline, but to be honest last time I got a legal opinion through them for something on it it was what I thought already.

Basically it's as Faqqer says - that law is ambiguous, so anything involving that law is open to interpretation until a judge rules on your particular case.
