This is a really interesting discussion in which Lewina brilliantly covers the subject in plain English, and points out the potential difficulties for recruiters and agency workers. If you have been burying your head in the sand about Brexit, then you need to listen to this!
Lewina is a solicitor and was previously Head of Legal Services at the Recruitment and Employment Confederation. In that role she advised agencies on employment law, general commercial matters, and issues specific to recruitment such as the Agency Workers Regulations. Lewina was also the lead for IR35 which we have covered in other podcasts. Lewina left the REC recently and is in the process of setting up as an independent consultant.
