Opting Out Notification Of @#%$ Of Employment Agencies

Re: hmmm.

it only started in April. You are already opted in by default.

You may need to research this.

hmmm.

When I signed my contract in Feb I wasnt given this opt out thing. Does that affect me in any way?

I had exactly the same request from the agency yesterday. They wanted me and my brolly to sign it. I'm still waiting to see what the brolly have to say about it.

Cheers Tim

It seems that the agency don't either.

For them it seems too late for your signing this to make any difference.

32(9) only applies "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."

And as you already have the contract in your pocket you have presumably already been introduced to the hirer. Though I suppose that "introduction or supply" is ambigious.

Anyway should you sign?

If you are a 'professional' business then sign.

If you are a temp then dont.
