Hi
I'm relatively new at running my own ltd company (just myself) and am struggling with technical jargon... my brain just shuts down
I run a ltd company, producing graphics for web/print/video/animation/interactive cd-roms etc. I have registered with various employment agencies, and have had several contracts this way. One agency is asking me if I want to opt out under Regulation 32 of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003. I have tried to research this on the internet, but there is so much technical jargon and cross-referencing, that I'm more confused than ever.
Can anyone tell me in a nutshell, what does opting out mean? Will I lose certain rights, and what are they? What am I opting out of? Please don't tell me to read the regs - I've tried that and I'm just getting confused.
I have also been told by this agency that I need Professional Indemnity Insurance. I don't see why, as all I do is publish information which my clients ask me to, either in print format, or on the web. Websites I have worked on display client info (as requested by client) and have (at most) basic forms which members of the public need to fill in to request more information. I generally get all clients to proof-read everything and sign it off before it goes live. Coincidentally, this agency offers their own insurance. Hmmm
Please can anyone help?
Thanks
