AWR help

I have a question about Agency Workers Regulations

One agency are putting me forward for a job but want me to be paid by an umbrella company. As a result, that makes me an employee of the umbrella company and not the Agency. Therefore the agency said to me that the AWR regulations don't apply to me.

Is that right? I am confused. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thank you.

I believe you will be covered by the AWR:

The regulations cover agency workers supplied by a temporary work agency to a hirer. This includes most agency workers that people refer to as 'temps'. The regulations also cover agency workers supplied via intermediaries. To establish the rights in these regulations, the agency worker needs to be able to identify a comparator.

The regulations don't cover the genuinely self-employed, individuals working through their own limited liability company, or individuals working on managed service contracts.
