You ought to know - you ARE an umbrella company, aren't you?"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I see, it didn't read like that before you edited it.
Do you mean contractors working within IR35/using umbrellas?
AWR doesn't mean much around here...

Originally posted by Forbes Young View PostLooks like this is an annual STAFF Christmas party.A genuinely independent contractor working outside of IR35 should be contractually independent as well as act as an independent contractor in the workplace (separate from staff). Anything to do with AWR should be specifically clarified in the contract (eg between the Agency/client and the contractor).
Yes, it is going to depend on the contractual arrangements and whether they truly reflect the reality of the relationship, ie, whether the reality is that the individual is not in business on their own account and do work under the supervision, direction and control of the hirer – but that could lead us into a whole different discussion. Genuine limited company contractors are outside of the scope of AWR.Comment
