AWR - completely different to Conduct of Agencies act?

[northernladuk]

Malvy - I thought they were different to be fair. So AWR is not the one to opt out of?

Mate. You started the bloody sticky about all this. Why the bloody hell don't you go read it? Questions like this with so much information on the web, links and in the search are just a disgrace.

Flailing round like an incompetent newbie?

They are different.

You can opt out (or not) of the Conduct Regulations.

The AWR has to apply to "workers". Because you are in business on your own account (assuming you're outside IR35), you are not a worker therefore the agency is asking you to agree with their assessment that the AWR do not apply. (The AWR gives you rights like holiday pay, getting treated the same as permies after 12 weeks. etc.)

But get your contract professionally reviewed - well worth the money.

Thank you muddie. Always do it get reviewed by my friends at QDOS who provice a cracking service I must admit.
