    A guide to opting out of the Conduct Regulations :: The REC writing especially for Agencies using Umbrellas.

    Why would REC have a leaflet that supports opting out if it isn't possible to do so.

      Well I've checked the regulations and the opt out only applies to work seekers who are incorporated in regulation 32 section 9.

      https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/...lation/32/made

      Subject to paragraph (12), paragraphs (1)—(8) shall not apply where a work-seeker which is a company, and the person who is or would be supplied by that work-seeker to carry out the work, agree that they should not apply, and give notice of that agreement to an employment business or agency, provided that such notice is given before the introduction or supply of the work-seeker or the person who would be supplied by the work-seeker to do the work, to the hirer.

        "which is a company" means any company other than the agency itself...

        And an umbrella company has a duty to seek work for their employees as their current engagement comes to an end - they purpose is to both pay their employees correctly and help seek work for those employees.

        Granted most umbrella firms completely fail to fulfil the work-seeking requirement but that doesn't mean they are excused from doing so.
