Days off / holidays etc?

[kingcook]

Some contractors dont bother and do whatever the clients ask for in terms of forms etc.

They are the one's who are caught by IR35 (and i'm not saying that's the reason why they would be caught - just that their attitude to contracting would land them in it)

Some contractors like myself are sceptical to use a permie leave form but cross out references to staff etc. To be honest in my current client project everyone has to use a holiday form but i cross out terms and sections not applicable.

Personally, i would have words with the client. Remind them about the downside of IR35, not just for you, but for them aswell. i.e. If you were ever investigated and found to be an "employee", the client could become the "employer", making them liable for employer NI taxes, holiday pay, redundancy (maybe?)
