The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) has finally claimed lobbying victory against the government to ensure that the Limited Company opt-out option is not removed from the new Conduct Regulations.

Contractors who operate through limited companies or umbrella companies currently have the opportunity to opt-out of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations and the government’s decision to remove this option has been widely feared as it would have meant significant additional costs for recruiters and contractors.

Needless to say, the announcement that the opt-out will not be withdrawn has come as a huge relief for Employment Agencies and Businesses alike.
