Evening everyone
Thanks for the helpful comments. I had to go PAYE today but at least I still have a job. Sorry if I wasn't sufficiently clear in my original post. I have worked for the end client for 18 months. I completed a QDOS SDS and was deemed Outside. However my end client disagreed with a number of my answers and overruled me, and this meant they deemed me Inside.
What was particularly frustrating was that it was the Commercial/Legal team that disagreed with my answers. The Operations team, people with whom I work day in day out agreed that my answers were correct. But they advised me that it was not a fight they/we were likely to win. The end client is fairly large with £5bn annual turnover and have made their decision, and my spies in the Commercial team tell me not a single Contractor (one man/woman band) has been allowed to to continue with their PSC. So although I was being told last week by the Ops team that I had a chance, further discussion with their Commercial colleagues put them straight.
Some of my colleagues have the luxury of walking. Sadly I have no savings and had to consider my ability to meet my financial outgoings, particularly as my husband is looking for work.
Hopefully the landscape will change in the future, and my next contract will be deemed Outside.
Thanks again for the help and advice.
