Hi I know this is a common topic but think I have a slightly different question to that usually asked.
First time contracting via limited co. I was interviewed by end client via a referral, told they were only taking people on via agency x and given agency x details.
Now formed limited co and contracted to client via agency x. Contract contains restriction clause preventing supplying of services direct to client without going through agency for 6 m post agreement.
I did tick the opt in box re employment regs, but told (and still have the email) as I was a limited co I couldn't opt in.
Client is now publicly advertising for the job I perform via the contract, and I'd prefer to do it as an employee rather than contracting.
Does the restriction clause apply to becoming an employee, or is it to prevent direct contracting?
If it does apply should it be reduced in period given my "opt out" was not valid?
Thanks in advance.
