Yes, looks like the client wants this clause - agency can't change it. The client only agrees to remove it if Qdos confirms that it's a red flag in terms of IR35... Submitted it for review, we'll seeComment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI'd be surprised if they did and it would just be around wording is guess not the intent. Can't see having a cooling off period at the beginning would be an IR35 issue particularly... Unless it's exactly the same timescales they enforce on permies I guess.Comment

I had some fun and games with Lorien when it came to contract renewal. They deliberately left it to the last minute to come up with the paperwork to put me off negotiating a rate rise
The client told me weeks before they were renewing so I knew it was a big game.Comment

Does anyone know what sort of percentage Lorien typically take with their big financial clients? I know it’s par for the course and I shouldn’t really care, but after yet another example of them stuffing up and saying it’s not their responsibility, I’d love to know what they actually do for their cut and will ask if they would consider reducing their cut and O’S isn’t it on to me.
Spoiler - they won’t. But I might as well ask.Comment

Ask them? If they are on a fixed percentage they shouldn't have any problems telling you. Probably near as dammit around 6%. A little up or down from that won't really make much difference.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

My current agency Monarch had a nice payment scheme - Invoiced weekly for the first five weeks of the contract (paid at the end of the week following invoice) and then after week 5 moved to monthly payments.
Whenever I do professional services work during evenings and weekends I use 7 or 14 calendar day terms. 28 days to pay an invoice isn't acceptable in my opinion.Comment
