Secondly there is the restriction clause... after contract completion I am not able to engage directly with the client for 12 months. Ideally I'd like the opportunity to deal directly with the preferred supplier or end client if renewed instead of through the sub- agent so that I don't have that extra "middle man" to deal with and the extra margin they'd take on my day rate. Not sure how I'd do that though as the contract is still with the preferred supplier, not sub-agent.... they're just getting the fee for finding me.
I agree, opting in could increase the work of the agency and effectively increase the time it takes to onboard me, as I'd have more hoops to jump through, particularly with the bank. At the moment their method of onboarding is more of a 'fast-track approach' to get me started in about half the time as I'm urgently needed.
