Working Practices pass, but contract is a fail

[The Spartan]

And (apart from walking away from a contract*), this is your problem how?

(*In the same position I'd do exactly the same as you btw.)

I gave them an alternative declaration which they're going to allow me to sign, but I find their tactics very heavy handed and downright despicable. I just told the client about their behavior and they were less than impressed, I'm guessing they just like being told by me that I am not going to put up with their tulipe.

Even the QDOS review flagged the declaration as being absolute junk, but no their employment lawyers know better. Hmmm if it's on the gov.uk site in black and white how is it open to that type of interpretation

[The Spartan]

Hmmm - so you sign that and blow your right of substitution because everyone has to be a director or owns more than 5% of your company.

Exactly and to be fair I believe he had no idea what he was talking about, either that or he was spinning it like a politician.

You can safely assume both.

As we've all seen agents have no clue, they just have processes to follow and odds are they get reduced commissions if people won't sign the ripoff terms, absurd declarations and comedy contracts.
Not like as a group they're famous for truthfulness.

The old "well every contractor signs it and you're the first one whos ever had an issue" argument.

Same old every time....
