I have a request from the Agency I am currently contracted with that they require a timesheet for a period during which I didn't work. I've never been asked this before with an Agency and for periods that I didn't work I never submitted a timesheet as no work, no Invoice required so no timesheet need be submitted.
Not necessarily a huge issue but the Agency is indicating that they don't want a timesheet submitted with blank days. Instead they want a value of 1 day put in the Absence box. I'm not entirely comfortable with this (hence the post) as Absence has potential indications of employee status in my mind.
I get paid monthly and for the months in which I didn't work some of this time, I've already been paid so I'm not entirely sure why they still want this information.
Others do similar in that provide timesheets even when don't work ? Should putting Absence raise the old IR35 question ? Just ignore it as they can't do anything anyway as I've already been paid for that monthly period where I didn't work for some time ?, or just do as they request as it's not an issue ?
Interested to hear others experiences around this.
