Hi
I am employed by a recruitment agency and work as a contractor for one of their clients. The client supplies some IT services to a large site. The end customer also has their own IT services which are run independently.
My current contract ends 1st November. I have applied for a permanent post direct with the end customer.
My recruitment agency is saying I cannot work for the end customer for 6 months after leaving them. But their contract is between them and the client not the end customer.
The recruitment agency sent out this email:
"""""
Following recent meetings it has been brought to my attention that some contractors are being approached directly to apply for roles on the same site. Whilst any application or interview is not a breach of any agreed contract there are breeches that could be seen as a result of excepting any offer made and I must politely remind you of the restrictive covenants that is in your agreed contract currently.
“RESTRICTION
The Intermediary shall not (and shall procure that the Agency Worker shall not) for a period of 6 months following the termination of the Assignment supply the services of the Agency Worker directly, or through any other person, firm or Employment Business, to any Hirer for which s/he has carried out Assignments at any time during the previous 6 months “
"""""
So currently I am employed by A that supplies services to B. B provides support to C. I have not been approached by anyone - I am searching myself. I have not been 'Hired' by C.
They also stated:
"""""
Any breech of an agreed contract will result in immediate remedial action and may affect your security (SC/DV) status.
""""
HELP Please. Can I work for C if I get the permanent post with no worries.
Cheers
Mark
