OPT OUT

[Wanderer]

You aren't confusing the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations with the Agency Workers Regulations are you?

Why I can not Opt Out if interview had already happen?

Because that's how the government decided to write the law. Why is it a problem to not be able to opt out? There is nothing to stop you and the agency from proceeding to do business as if you had opted out. No one is going to force you to assert your rights under the agency conduct regulations and the agency will happily deny you your rights if you choose not to assert them.

Than again agents never ask you to opt out before you go for an interview so mostly people opt out too late. According to PCG you are already introduced to client if they read your CV ... As a newbie you don't have a way of knowing all this. Someone clear this up for me

Did you read the opt out sticky? You can also read the Agency Regulations section 32 which contains the provision to opt out.

If in doubt, say NO to the opt out.

Just don't opt-out it makes your life easier.

@malvolio Thanks

Just tell the agency you want to opt out and they will jump at the chance to have you sign away your statutory rights.

Yeah I am reading all day long about this issue and really am finding it very confusing ... in OR out. To me its just a hustle to be honest. One huge gray area ... in particular ... Why I can not Opt Out if interview had already happen? Its crazy. Than again agents never ask you to opt out before you go for an interview so mostly people opt out too late. According to PCG you are already introduced to client if they read your CV ... As a newbie you don't have a way of knowing all this. Someone clear this up for me

Oh, I see. How about

Dear Sirs

Conduct of Employment Agencies – Limited Company Opt Out

We hereby give notice, pursuant to regulation 32 of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 ("the Regulations") that both my little company and zorgi do not wish the Regulations to apply to any engagements through your pathetic excuse of an agency

Sincerely,

You might want to use real names instead of the bold bits.

And before you ask, it's a straight lift from the PCG's Guide to the Agency Regs.
