Article 6
Access to employment, collective facilities and vocational training
...
2. Member States shall take any action required to ensure that any clauses prohibiting or having the effect of preventing the conclusion of a contract of employment or an employment relationship between the user undertaking and the temporary agency worker after his assignment are null and void or may be declared null and void.
I'm currently IT contracting though an agency (my contract is with the agency). There is a clause in the contract stating that when the contract ends, I cannot work for the same end-client either directly or through another agency for a certain period of time (e.g. a year).
The client almost certainly doesn't want to engage contractors directly. That's why they work through the agency in the first place.If the clause wasn't there, what would stop you just working for the client directly and the agency would not get their fee?
First of all you have to establish if the client will take you on directly, prob not as Complainer has pointed out, now you could set up a Ltd Company and get the client to engage "them", you'd be crazy to give the agency any money....
