Hi folks,
I've searched around in the forum but couldn't find the answers to what I'm looking for - apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.
I haven't used contract review services before (yes, I know) but would like doing so with my next contract, but am realising the Working Practices Questionnaire (WPQ) is equally or even more important than the contract itself.
The thing is, a lot of these questions could only be answered reasonably after placement, by which point you would have signed the contract already. So, what gives?
Do I:
a) pester end client to answer the WPQ in an IR35 friendly manner before contract signed (and risk losing the client, especially as going through an agency)
b) focus on getting placed, and get the WPQ answered, signed and contract reviewed as quickly as possible after placement (the WPQ would serve as evidence)
c) something else?
I want do things properly, but obviously don't want to lose business...
