I'm puzzled why there hasn't been any board discussion about the article on CUK's front page. Reading the article sounds like doom and gloom for contractors? Is this not the case, then?

From the article...
"So if your company has you integrated into a team of developers and you are working alongside regular employees, expect some changes. You may have to provide all your own equipment, be forbidden to use the staff facilities, have the notice-period removed from your contract, and, worst of all, be forbidden from joining the weekly cake round."
Bring it on. If it stops me being seen as a disguised employee then I'd be happy for the above. I have my own laptop and sw. Not in terested in the staff facilities. No notice means that I could drop my contract if it turns out to be a bag of cack like the one I did in Staines. I wouldn't join in with the cake round if it were available.
At least it would make the clients see the need to differentiate us from them and make it easier to get around IR35.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
Muscat was an unusual case about TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings - Employment Protection), and did not appear to concern the employment rights of contractors.Cats are evil.Comment
