I have secured a contract direct with the end client. I am now being asked for personal (i.e. not related to my limited company) details including passport details etc. They say they need to check I have permission to work in the UK. I am arguing that they are dealing with my limited company, not...

Anyone else finding it very quiet out there? This is the quietest I remember it for the last 6 years. I finished my last contract at the end of April and now going back to an old client, but if that work wasn't there I'd be struggling to get a sniff of anything. Feels like some lean times are on...

I am trying to work out child maintenance options, specifically what I am likely to being having to pay out, and frustratingly noone at the CSA/CMS is able to give a definitive answer as to how this is calculated for self employed/ contractor ltd types. Or rather they are providing me with...

Around a couple of months ago. My current contract was extended. The notice period was also extended from 5 days to 4 weeks :eyes Anyway. I'm considering leaving and having such a long notice period could be a problem... Work is starting to dry up and I'm growing tired of doing next to...

I have a contract lead at one of the major Japanese banks based in London. Welcome anyone's experiences in working in such an environment; culture, hours, home working etc. I've undertaken banking roles before, although only for UK banks.

Hi Quick question, when contacting the previous agency regarding references what kind of information would the current agency ask for?

I've been offered a start date with a volley of emails between myself and agent, no contract yet. I've now changed my mind am I legally obliged to attend. Do the emails equate to a contract?

Just had a bizarre voicemail from my agency who have said that they are doing a couple of audit checks. Apparently my contract renewal start date is 'wrong' and should start on the 1st April 2018 instead of the 3rd April. The reason I asked the end client to start it on the 3rd was because the...

Call from Indian agency called Pyramid about a specialised IBM tech contract role. Obviously wouldn't give me any details but I have a strong suspicion it's for Wipro for Lloyds or TSB. Or it could be direct at one of these banks, assuming they need someone to watch over Wipro. Anyone know which...

Pretty self explanatory. Good spread of normal geographic international access numbers.

First tine contractor, just been offered my first contractor role. They've offered £400 a day for 6 months with probability it will run for 2 year. At £400 a day what's my most realistic monthly income after tax, fees etc? Quick Google check says around £6500 but is that accurate? Thanks

I have read a number of posts about contracting abroad and especially Belguim. I realise this question has been answered numerous times but I just wanted to know if their are any different rules when contracting for NATO? I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I am being told different from a...

Interesting to see how GDPR is interpreted differently between agencies and in general. Getting so many emails - mix of re-consent , here is an updated privacy policy, competitions to re-consent and some no contact. My understanding is that if data is collected correctly in the first place and...
