Meaning ? The contract will state one day a week at this site and 4 days a week at other siteOriginally posted by ratewhore View Postas long as the expenses for this travel are covered contractually...Comment

Meaning ensure it is stated explicitly in the contract that the client covers travel expenses to the second site. Otherwise you may find they expect you to cover travel yourself to both sites.Older and ...well, just older!!Comment

That as absolutely no relevance whatsoever to the 24 month rule.Originally posted by ratewhore View PostMeaning ensure it is stated explicitly in the contract that the client covers travel expenses to the second site. Otherwise you may find they expect you to cover travel yourself to both sites.
The 24 month rule covers what you are able to claim as an employee (either of a ltd or an umberella).
What you are talking about is weather or not your Ltd (or Umberella) can charge the customer for expenses. Even if the 24 month rule applies and you personally can't claim them, then your company can still charge the client for them.Still InvoicingComment

Although not relevant to me yet what happens in this scenario
You take a job as a contractor on a site doing job A, after 6 months, you get a new contract/ new position in job B. The job role changes but the location has not well it's on the same overall site. Are you still unable to claim expenses after the 24 months despite your role having changed hugely since first walking onto the site?Comment

I'm saying to the OP he will only get mileage to the second site if it is in the contract...

The OP was asking if the 24 month rule prevented him from personally claiming the expenses for the 2nd site.
Not weather or not his company/umbrella could bill the client for them.

Tell you what, here's a really good idea. What about giving a poster some advice on how to claim expenses from the client, regardless of whether it is an exact match to the original question?

It's not about about role it's about workplace.Originally posted by Damo1176 View PostAlthough not relevant to me yet what happens in this scenario

You can change from being a tea boy to MD, but once you know you'll be over there more than 24 months you can;t claim.Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon
