T&C expenses changes & impact on public sector contacting

(When I say CUK recommended it was awarded CUK Best Umbrella Company of the year at the time )

If it is the one I am thinking of take a good look at your T&Cs especially if they ahem... 'persuaded' you to opt out.
Specifically Sections 13.1 and 16.4

Yep I did fall for the trap of opting out did really understand it all at the time.

yes it does look like my T&Cs with the umbrella does say i cant work for any one linked to my current client for the next 12 months bit rich given that its was me that has paid them for their services not any clients.

would like to see if that would hold up court.

Well as I read from the myriad of helpful posters here on that subject in another thread (and phew in my case)!
Apparently if you were introduced to your client before you opted out then it does not apply and you can ignore that section.

Not strictly true.

The issue is the clause hasn't been tried out in a higher court so therefore both parties are right until it's tested in a higher court.

The best way is to ensure your contract matches what you specifically want. However be aware there will be some cases where you fight to opt-out and aren't allowed to where the opt-out doesn't apply anyway e.g. where the client requires an enhanced DBS check

I dont think I would bother with all the stress for ~£130 a day rate (bit of fag packet maths). I'd just go perm and coast.

Nope.

[KentDogWalker]

Nope.

I'm Ltd, working for my client that found me via a recruitment agency (not an umbrella). Reading elsewhere it seems I can still claim T&S, no?
