I've always come across PS as 37.5 hr weeks, but my only question would be what is on the contract terms for billing; what will you bill in hours or days?
My last non PS contract was per day but min 8 hours per day at day rate. Will be a bit more savvy on the next oneComment

In Private sector at times contract states professional Hours that means .. it can be 8 hours or it can be 10 hours!

e.g.
Usually in Public Sector contract hours are mentioned explicitly i.e. 37.5 Hrs per week or 7.5 hours per day.
If there is a long weekend, hence you will be doing 30 Hrs instead of 37.5 Hrs. and you will be raising a invoice for 30 hours. Calculation will be -- ( Convert agreed rate per day into hours. )
That's what I have done in the past

THere is more austerity/scrutiny coming up. To procure anything over 25k you need additional paperwork so I'm pretty sure they are just making sure you/agency don't exceed 25k in a single contract.Comment

If Contracting in the PS is such a hassle I really don't think it's for me!Comment

And where are you getting this solid advice from? Some you know and trust or a bunch of keyboard warriors?
My last contract was in The PS and it was great. Equal to market rates came and went as I pleased, able to work from home yadda yadda. You gotta know enough about IR35 to keep your nose clean and weigh up the risks and at worst I get caught for one gig.
Work environment can be different to private sector such as budgets and attitude to risk but if you have anything about you you should be able to adjust.
But go ahead, enjoy the bench. The guys on here will be pleased as punch to know you listened to their advice.
You sir... ANCOTBACLast edited by northernladuk; 2 June 2015, 20:30.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
