Opt out of Conduct of employment agencies 2003 act?

[chappers]

Paper.

walked straight into that one

[Rory Dwyer]

The "Conduct Regs" are virtually unenforceable

If you are the sole director of your own personal service company, and unless you as a contractor are prepared to admit that you have given up control of your self and your company to your hirer.

A situation you do not want as this would confirm compliance with the main pillar of the three pillars of the master/servant relationship and as this would be a key indicator in the IR35 business entity tests.

Also a situation your client does not want as they would then have to comply with the controlled associated companies legislation.

You will not be able to rely on the "Conduct Regulations" as applicable legislation regardless of whether you opt in or opt out, or regardless of whether the hirer was informed prior to introduction or supply.

As in the case of Clearwater Consulting Ltd, cover article 5th March 2014, a contractor will not be able to rely on any protection the "Conduct Regulations" appear to offer.

The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 is not applicable to contractors in the above scenario and never has been since 2003.

Since you work for CNL, who won in the Clearwater case, your opinion may be slightly biased towards the agent's point of view.

Some agency contracts define themselves as being an "Employment Business", which was the point that you won on. If the contract defines the agency as being an Employment Business, then your argument fails completely.

Dear Dirty Dog,

Unfortunately, you are misinformed. I have opened a separate thread within which I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

For the record, I am not forcing my advice on you, you can believe what you want to believe, many people do.

For your information, a contract does not trump statute as in the case of the Employment Agencies Act 1973. Also a contract does not trump precedent. At least on appeal(s) anyhow.

Additionally, our contracts defined CNL as an Employment Business, but that is to miss the point.

I am not taking anyone's point of view other than my own as formed by the Judges preceding the decisions.

If you have any further questions, please ask them on the thread entitled 'The "Conduct Regs" are virtually unenforceable against your intermediary' as I will be reviewing that one more frequently.

where does it say that opt-out option must be given before introduction to the client

Hi,

Anybody knows where exactly does it say in the regulation that opt-out option must be given by the agency before introduction to the client?

I have an offer, and Experis pimp (aka parasite) sent me template terms-of-engagement contract which under "company obligations" paragraph says:

supply a Consultant to provide the Services who has the right to work in the United Kingdom and has opted out of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 in the form set out in the Project Schedule. Additionally, the Company expressly agrees to opt out from the same Regulations;

It also says that agency will not pay me at all if my contract gets terminated within first month.

Thanks

oh rory rory...

Dear Rory,

Why would agencies try to impose opt-out if it does not protect contractor in the sole owner scenario?

Thats a new one - at least they're trying to get it right.

But what happens if you refuse? Im guessing they, incorrectly, try to tell you you've got to?
