... but i wanted to ask about a specific thing instead of hunting through 30 page threads :s
I'm reading the conduct regs legislation and it seems to talk about employment all the time:
And I'm assuming that this is where the idea that 'opting in' means that you;re controlled comes from.
My question is that as there is clearly no intention of ever establishing a contract of employment between anyone, at any time, in the context of us 'PSCs' looking for contracts - then is it just that the term 'employment', in this context, is overloaded? And doesn't actually necessarily refer to employment insofar as a typical employer/employee relationship is concerned?
I'm reading the conduct regs legislation and it seems to talk about employment all the time:
“work-finding services” means services (whether by the provision of information or otherwise) provided—
(a) by an agency to a person for the purpose of finding that person employment or seeking to find that person employment;
(b) by an employment business to an employee of the employment business for the purpose of finding or seeking to find another person, with a view to the employee acting for and under the control of that other person;
(c) by an employment business to a person (the“first person”)for the purpose of finding or seeking to find another person (the “second person”), with a view to the first person becoming employed by the employment business and acting for and under the control of the second person;
“work-seeker” means a person to whom an agency or employment business provides or holds itself out as being capable of providing work-finding services.
