6 month work rule

emfitz

Hey Guys,

I'm currently working for a company through an agency, i'll be 6 months here in May ( what started out as 4week contract).

My question is if the company were to take me on themselves could i keep working for another few months as I'll be getting paid by a different company than previous.

Thanks

If you are referred by an agency or labour supplier to a business, you can work for six months for that business. The same agency or labour supplier can refer you to another business where you can work for another six months. For the purpose of the six month limitation, the 'employer' is considered to be the business for which you are working directly, even if you are being paid by an agency or labour supplier.
......
You cannot stay in the same job beyond six months by using different employment agencies, business affiliates or sub-contracting arrangements.

answer is no ... sorry

Ah well then if the BF is getting sponsored then fair enough. Make sure you get in on that sponsor as its free for you in this instance.
