Hi, I am completely new to contracting and the role I will be contracting in is not generally contracted. I will be working as a PA for a period of 3 months for an IT services company, however during interview stage they said they were looking for someone to go permanent later.
My agency have not shed any light on the opt-out form they are 'telling' me to sign, and cannot highlight when questionned any benefits.
I am due to start on Mon, and advised the agency that I did not wish to opt-out as I did not see any benefit, and said I would research further and come back to them.
I then got a call from the agency to say I 'could not' start unless I opted out. My understanding is that this is not legal for the agency to impose.
I am needing someone to break this down for me in lehmans terms and would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help.. This is driving me totally nuts, as I REALLY want this contract and am unsure of where I stand and what to do..
Thanks
