How will Agency Workers Directive impact Ltd Company Contractors?
The consultation for implementation of the Agency Workers Directive (AWD) in the UK began in Feb 2009 to bring UK on par with the EU norms. The white paper on the AWD is available on

While the implementation of the AWD in the UK has been delayed until 2011, it is certainly going to have a major impact on the way business is done in the UK, especially in the service, sales, manufacturing and construction industries where hiring of Temporary workers is commonplace.
The point for discussion is whether the AWD is going to adversely affect the way (like IR35) Ltd company contractors provide their services to Companies, including those in the oil&gas/petroleum sector? What do you think? Comments welcome!
