Invoking the substitution clause

[TheFaQQer]

I think you have found a square peg and are desperately trying to stuff it in to a round hole.

Nice analogy

I wondered that point exactly - why would you want to show the client that they could be saving considerably by keeping the girl in your place and you on the street?

Fair point. Well, they can have her! It's a day a week for me so wouldn't be the end of the world.

Otherwise, thanks all. Opinions sought and received. And I'm glad I've done my bit for society by winding northernladuk up

I said the client was flexible but I haven't actually proposed my choice of candidate yet. They may well baulk at it. In which case, there's not a whole lot else I'm willling to do to help them out - they can find their own sub.

The problem is you could open a can of worms here. If your client refuses your sub against the terms of your contract you have proved the working practice does not match you contract and you have an IR 35 issue.
