I also had quite a bit of trouble last year to find contracts, although it was getting easier recently. I'd want to get a new contract ASAP if I'm inside but I don't want to take the risk to be again without any money in for months...
What is the notice period on your side of the contract? If its a week, you could be ill for that week (assuming you've found a new contract).
Make sure you continue to get timesheets signed, so you're due the money if you do walk. If they don't sign them, tools down.Comment

I had a call with the recruiter, they told me all is fine and the payment delay is due to bank holiday and they had to do the determination now because they couldn't do it before being recruited........
Fingers crossed...Comment

If they said it was outside on the advert but now admit they couldn't do the determination until you started then they were lying on the original advert. Advertising standards and APSCo would be interested in that. It's a fraudlent claim which could cost you a lot of money if it came back inside.
Gotta stamp this rubbish out as it affects all of us. I'd be writing to them to point out they are an utter shambles if I were you.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Outside IR35 - we don't know if the contractor needs handholding / has a clue and we equally don't know if the PM is a micromanaging moron.
I'm sure the TheFaQQer can explain IPSE's reasoning - as I can understand why REC and end clients would want this situation but not a clue as to why contractors would want it.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I can understand it being indeterminate until after the interview, to see how good the actual candidates are - one might need more hand-holding, but be cheaper whereas the other one can self-manage and hit the ground running, completely unsupervised and would be outside. They could also be a returning contractor, known entity, minimal learning curve for inhouse systems and processes, etc.
A client should know on what basis it wants to engage a resource on right from the start. Need appears, they decide if they want a bum on seat or supplier. They could even do the CEST to help them decide what risks they want to take and then they go ask the agent to find them an outside or inside resource.
Determining based on the individual contractor is ridiculous as that contractor doesn't determine the engagement and doing it after the contractor has got the gig is just rubbish for everyone concerned.
Didn't realise the process was so utterly ****ed up. I thought the do CEST on the role, then go resource for it.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

The agency is very likely paying up front.Comment
