Obviously if you're a temporary employee operating within IR35 you should be covered by the regulations.

If you are working through your Ltd though outside IR35 you shouldn't need or rely on the regulations particularly when they effectively shove you inside IR35.

Contractors opting out of the Conduct of Employment Regulations: where do they stand?

The wording of the regulations is such that the work seekers (or contractors) are presumed to be under the control of the hirer (or client), which leaves contractors wide open to being found to be working within IR35.

In my view opting out should be what you should do, and sort all the conditions you want in your contract, particularly as the government is clamping down.

By opting in you're saying "I'm a temporary employee under the control and direction of my ~~employer~~ client".

I give my consent for DGH Recruitment to represent me for the role of Test Manager working for ******* and please accept this as confirmation that I am opting out of the EAA regulations**

** EAA Regs (EEA) were designed to give more protection to anyone using the services of a recruitment agency and opting out enables people to operate as a Limited Company.

LOL.....as in real LOL...
