    What a joke.

    Rather than amending the clause in the right document, the agency just added the clause to the addendum Company Assignment Schedule document and has asked me to accept it.

    She was telling me without which I cannot start from monday. :-)

      One reason it makes sense to pay the extra and have the reviewer negotiate directly with the agency and check the amendments. The agent will sell you anything that's convenient for them, because they couldn't care less about your tax position, so long as it doesn't impact them.

        The product which I bought mentions this " We will also liaise directly with the agency should you require us to."

          It depends if the contract states that clauses in the Schedule override those in the main contract. Or not.

          Time to start reading, carefully...

            Forward the email on to your chosen IR35 reviewer.

            If they still say "fail" then ask them to explain to the agency why.

            As for [not] starting Monday, it should be you asserting that ultimatum, not the agency.

              LOL.. I am being a bit cautious cause it too me 3 weeks to land that contract..

              Btw the Assignment schedule document looks like the following now.
              The following additional terms are Assignment specific and form part of the Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms set out in this Appendix and the Consultancy Agreement the provisions of this Appendix shall take precedence but only to the extent of any such conflict or inconsistency.

              Clause 1.2 of the Consultants Undertaking shall be amended to read has noted those obligations placed upon the Supplier and undertakes to perform those obligations mentioned above

                Can I back out of this contract if I am unsure about it?

                  That would all depend on if you've accepted it.

                  If you've accepted the role subject to contract and you haven't come to terms then not a problem, if you've signed and sent it back that's a different matter.

                    I just accepted it today and after that another offer came through, which is closer to home and more geared to towards my skillset.

                    A few weeks ago I have had one client back down on me after 3 rounds of interviews and verbally making me an offer.

                      Always accept subject to contract and tell the agency your contract will be reviewed by your legal advisors. Then get the contract reviewed.

                      If one contract is then complete tulip and you are having difficulties negotiating, you can sort out one of the others.

                      Then don't turn down any of the contracts until your bum is on the client's seat.
