Well there are still 6 weeks of consultation left to go and for the time being there is the hope that they will listen to the people, companies and bodies that have taken part.
If you stay in an umbrella company and the legislation comes in you will experience little change apart from a forced uplift of hourly rate if after 12 weeks, it is found that you're getting un-equal treatment regarding pay. Your umbrella company, agency and client will be the ones with all the headache, not you.
There is little reason to switch without more information because we simply don't know how agencies or clients will react. Chances are that when the legislation is ultimately brought in they will have enough to deal with making the necessary changes, giving you time to see which way the market is going and react accordingly.
