Agency workers

[chonok]

Let's just day that you taken on an agency worker for a couple of months.

After the 2 months he was no longer needed, but may be needed again in a few months time.

What would be the likelyhood that the agency would find out/come after me/try to sue me etc if I contacted him directly after a few months?

Has there been any previous cases whereby this has happened and the agency have claimed compensation?

(This is a work from home position BTW and it is only for 1-2 days per week)

Look at the agency T&Cs.

If the agency found out they would, without a shadow of a doubt, come after you for the redress you agreed to in their T&Cs.

However how will they find out? Either the agency employee lets slip because you mess him about, or another employee gets miffed about something and dobs you in.

Your choice.

This is my thought.

He was/is the only employee, so very unlikely...

And who exactly do you think this worker is likely to be talking with to find other work immediately before and after working with you? Known contacts who have found him/her work before perhaps ... what will happen when later employers/businesses seek to do background or reference checking, process P45s etc etc
