Originally posted by DijStra View PostDurrhhh ... Sorry never seen it expressed like that but I'm not a typical contractor. Most of my contracts are >24 months, with the civil service and have been inside IR35 for as long as I can be bothered to check. I just ramp the rate up to compensate so it makes no difference practically.
As for job boards I don't use them and all my work is on referral, hence I'm worried about an investigation and the impact that it will have on future roles. Despite the 16 years of contracting I'm still a newbie when it comes to the stuff you guys and gals do.Originally posted by obviousthrowaway View PostShould have known that but I'm not a typical contractor unlike you guys and gals I'm not much of a contract warrior. My roles are normally >36 months, and have been assessed on two occasions as inside IR35 it not something that bothers me. I just ramp up my rate to compensate.
As for job boards in last 16 years I've only ever got roles by personal recommendation hence the investigation is really important to me get resolved, exit or not.
This investigation could be anything. It could be unprofessional conduct (telling someone to 'effing grow up' is frowned upon in the civil service) or it could be off payroll dogma seeing as alexander fined two departments and got rid of 90 or contractors.
If you are running around breaking confidences (such as your friend telling you you are to be investigated and then going straight to your 'boss') then that's another possibility you've put someone's nose out of joint.
Of course, you could just be the inter department patsy being set up to carry the can.
Myself, Id have respected my friend's comment and kept my trap shut. Instead, Id say you've poked the bear in the eye with a tulipty stick.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

If you are running around breaking confidences.
Confidante would know I'd ask outright and is fine about it.Comment
