(1)In this Part an “eligible agency worker” is an individual—
(a)who is supplied by a person (the “agent”) to do work for another person (the “principal”) under a contract or other arrangements made between the agent and the principal, but
(b)who is not, as respects that work, a worker of the principal because of the absence of a worker’s contract between the individual and the principal, and
(c)who is not a party to a contract under which the individual undertakes to do the work for another party to the contract whose status is, by virtue of the contract, that of a client or customer of any profession or business undertaking carried on by the individual.
(2)Where an eligible agency worker does work for the principal at a place of business of the principal, this Part applies as if—
(a)the eligible agency worker were a worker of the principal, and
(b)the principal were the employer of the eligible agency worker.
(3)Where an amount is payable to an eligible agency worker under section 27D(2)—
(a)the amount may instead be paid to the agent (within the period specified in section 27G);
(b)the employer must not make any unauthorised deductions from the amount (whether or not the amount is paid to the agent under paragraph (a)).
(4)Where an amount is paid to the agent under subsection (3)—
(a)the amount becomes payable to the eligible agency worker by the agent before the end of the month after the month in which the agent is paid the amount under subsection (3), and
(b)the agent must not make any unauthorised deductions from the amount.
(5)In this section “unauthorised deduction” means a deduction that is not required or authorised to be made by virtue of a statutory provision.
(6)In this Part a reference to an eligible agency worker includes, where the context requires, a reference to a former eligible agency worker.]
