Agency Working Regs Query

[LisaContractorUmbrella]

This sounds like the Agency Worker Regulations which you cannot opt out from - if you are in business on your own account (apply the same rules as IR35) then you won't fall within the scope of the legislation

Tell them you do not wish to opt out. I don't see what this has to do with "scope of the assignment". Sounds like an agency ploy to get you to opt out.

Not sure if you understand the nature of the question, but AWR does not apply to Dirs of Ltd Cos...maybe you're thinking of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations which is where I believe the Opt-In/Opt Out derives.

Agency has sent a form to complete details 'to support compliance with the Agency Working Regs 2010."

Question is for them to assess whether assignment falls within scope of regs

States "Are you intending to provide your services through a Personal Services Limited Company or Umbrella.....la la la".

Just asks for Company Name, Reg No and whether I consider I'm in Business on my own account.

I'm limited.

All standard? Any red flags? Is this wording acceptable 'Personal Services Limited Company'?
