Aren't you describing yourself, not my writing?Comment

Is it not a little tricky though to get the upper contract to match the important elements of the lower one. The contractor isn't going to get a look at it to confirm.
It would seem a certain amount of trust must be placed in the EB (no worries there then!).Comment

The thing that gets me, is that it is in the interest of the end client to make sure the contract is blatantly outside IR35.
If the contract is IR35 caught you could theoretically argue that since you have been classified as IR35 caught you are by default entitled to employment right with the company in question and then demand holidays, sick pay and a job as a result.
Most companies hire contractors to get away from these things........Comment

The idea of hypothetical contracts of employment have nothing to do with the rights issue of genuine de facto employment, which is grounds for the whole legislation to be repealed. Besides, even if there were rights in place, they could be successfully defended in an ET on the grounds that the rate you were paid covered the benefits and that you would otherwise be paid if a staff member and that you were in the role less than a year (when rights for things like unfair dismissal or constructive dismissal start to kick in). So effectively, being a contractor on site less than a year doesn't amount to any more security than it would for a fixed term employee or even a permie staff member.Last edited by Denny; 16 January 2008, 15:35.Comment
