Hello peeps!

I've got a new role! ( )

This one I got from LinkedIn, the end client (a fairly large company) want me to go through an agency (Hays). Going through all the on-boarding kerfuffle I ticked to remain opted-in to emp. regs.

The lovely lady from Hays is checking back to make sure that's correct, it's no problem she says, she'll just prepare the paperwork if I want to stay opted-in.

But the agency didn't introduce me to the client, so aren't I automatically opted-in?
