Role being Transitioned to India

[ASB]

Sharp?? That my boy was very restrained...

There may be the old esoteric case such as ASB brought up, but it's highly unusual and I'll bet he didn't get much sympathy when he asked about IR35 as well...

Oh, and welcome to CUK,btw...

I did say it was very unusual

However Muscat would not have had to worry about IR35 one bit. Ultimately he was found to be an actual employee of C and W as far as I recall.

I do have some sympathy for the OP. My view is that this should not be allowed - but only within the timeframe of the original contract. But this is more a problem of how the contract is drafted and what it contains.

When somebody pulls a project that accenture or whoever are resourcing they don't just say "oh, well never mind". The lawyers go in and the exit is negotiated. However the contract are, of course, much more set up to consider this sort of effect.

Ultimately if you have a signed contract with no notice period and the client decides to outsource then you should have considered that eventuality before signing.

There have been cases here at my client site where contractors to my client have been taken on as contractors by the Offshore company... the system I support is way down the chain of other off shored projects

Maybe that will happen - maybe not - the transition period covers the remainder on my current contract (and then some if you believe what you hear :-)

I already confirmed notice periods either way and read through the contract again and again and again :-)

Thanks everyone - I have been on CUK for a while now - I just tended to log off a lot whilst waiting for my posts to be vetted - time is money people :-)
