Does this contract force Contractor (Relevant Staff) to start work ?

What will happen if I'll sign below contract and not sign Umbrella agreement ?
Does Agency can force me to start work ?
Can Agency sue me ?

Just based on those three questions I say can the gig and go back permie. You are just not cut out.

You either then work without a contract and take all the inherent risks that involves, or you walk away. Or you sign the contract.

If you haven't signed anything then there is no contract.

If you don't want to do the job then just tell them so. They will cry about it a bit but don't enter into a discussion with them , just walk away.

The agency can sue anyone they like but it's unlikely that they would in my opinion so don't be frightened of their bluff and bluster.

As for the opt out, if you are working via an Umbrella, do not under any circumstances accept the opt out agreement. It is your legal right to refuse to opt out and they cannot compel you to do it.

Right, so is the real question:

I've signed the contract, I don't want to start the gig, what are my options?

If you haven't signed anything, you're not obligated to do anything

What about it?

It's just a standard clause protecting the agent from the contractor's potential stupidity. Don't be stupid and it won't get activated. Simple.

As simple as paying £100 and getting it reviewed properly.

So have you signed it, or not?
