I have a friend (it is long story so won't give all details), but he is contracting for an organisation until approvals etc for a permanent position come through.
He is getting a 40% uplift on revenue to contract. That is the minimum I would expect, probably at least 50% cos that is approx the cost to a company for an employee over and above their salary. If they are not offering that then there is no point being a contract IMO.

Ah yes I see. Operating a PAYE scheme, paying employers NIC's, administration, paying an accountant etc all eat into company funds. Then there's the time I'd spend personally with the paperwork that goes with running a limited company... I can now see why my potential client/employer will have to up their offer to make this work. Don't think they can afford to so doubt it's a go-er. What a pity. Really want to work for them!
Thanks for your input.
