I have a friend who has recently accepted the offer of a new job. He was already employed and left a permanent contract job for the new post. He went through the interview process and at no time was it mentioned that the position was an agency one. After working in the new job for one week, the MD approached him with some agency papers to sign. My friend was really surprised as there had been no mention previously and he would not have given up a permanent contract for an agency contract had he known.
What are his rights in this instance? He feels he has been completely duped and does not want to remain in the new job.
