....am I in the clear?
My current agency insisted that "they only deal with contractors who sign the opt-out". However, I simply never signed or sent it, and have now been working for the client for three weeks.
Does the agency have any right to insist that the opt-out was implied or anything like that? Basically it's only a short-term contract, but I think there might be an opportunity for ongoing ad-hoc work.
Am I legally allowed to now go direct to the client once my contract ends? I know there's something like 8 weeks statutory gap anyway, but after that my options are open?
