Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003
The Conduct Regulations were designed to raise standards within the recruitment industry. The Conduct Regulations stipulate how recruitment businesses should operate, providing added protection for work seekers and companies using the services of recruiters
Can Springboard employees opt out of the conduct regulations?
Yes, as a limited company contractor you can opt out of the Conduct Regulations
Why Opt Out ?
For those workers working for Springboard there is little reason why a contractor would not wish to opt out although opting out of the regulations is not a condition of any employment offer . However many agencies expect LCCs to opt out regardless of whether they work through their own personal service company or an umbrella company and so opting out may be a way of maximising the range of possible roles available to you.
How to Opt Out
Included within the Springboard welcome pack employees will find an opt-out declaration that must be signed by us and them before they start work if they choose to opt out If as a Springboard employee you are undecided about opting out of these regulations we recommend you seek independent legal advice or visit the BIS website for information and guidance on the Conduct Regulations http://www.bis.gov.uk/files/file24248.pdf
