Contracting Through an Agency

Are you thinking about contracting for the first time?

Do you understand your options, the pros and cons of the different arrangements and what sorts of considerations should inform your choice?

The aim of this Guide is to help you assess whether contracting through an agency is an option that might suit your circumstances, to set out how the arrangements usually work, to explain the different rights and obligations attached to each of the different types of arrangements, to set out your responsibilities when negotiating a contract, and to give you a benchmark for the hourly rates you might expect.
