It's not blanket sub and just isn't suitable for certain situations. You also have to make sure the person that comes in is trained up on the systems at your cost. You can't just send any old body in. They have to be able to pickup where you left off without interruption which will require some handover from you.Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostIt will be the one between him and the agency. Very rarely will we get to see the upper contract. QDOS won't actually review the upper one anyway as it doesn't directly apply. They will take it as evidence when reviewing the contractors contract. For example, if the upper contract does not allow RoS QDOS will not fail the upper one. Instead they will point out that his has one but the upper doesn't.. It's the contract between the agent and the contractor that's being reviewed. Erm. Messed that up but you get my meaning.
Many agencies are flexible these days and would allow you to review the lower level contract and if required can make it IR35 compliance? So there is a possibility that upper level contract might look total different to lower level IR35 Compliance contract.Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI guess the answer would be it's complicated. The upper contract may not cover working practices as it is between the agent and client so different set of responsibilities. It will be about how those two parties engage and not how you do. Even if it does you can't do anything about it. You have to carry out the best diligence you can. I'd say you want to be more worried about your contract matching the working practices. For example if it had a fettered RoS and the agent changes it how do you know the client has seen it and agrees. Getting the wording of your contract changed is only half (or less) of the battle.
It is really complicated and harder to start a new contract on lower rates when it is not known if the contract is IR35 compliance.Comment

It's not compliant. It's inside or outside. When you say lower rates, what positions are you talking about. 1st/2nd line stuff?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
