Agency workers

The EAT has held that an individual recruited by an agency to work for a specified company could be held to be an employee of that company. The company in question exercised a sufficient degree of control over the employee. He was legally bound to comply with all reasonable instructions and requests made by the company, which thus had day-to-day control over the employee's activities
