Fixed term contracts

You aren't googling very well then. There is a whole raft of pages on the. Gov website about it.

FTC is an employment contact. Nothing to do with what we do.

Why would a contractor want this type of contact?

Why would anyone take this contract?

Sometimes people have no choice.....

You're a tough lot 😃

The quotation marks hint doesn't work on this site and the government link is a hit I did find but doesn't tell me whether those on FTC get benefits like a regular employee or whether they get a day rate (or more cash payment than an employee i.e.more like contractor rates). That's the insight I'm hoping to get on here.

FTC means that you are treated as an employee for tax purposes and may or may not receive the same rights as an employee. Being an employee you of course will not be being paid the £400 or so a day a contractor charges but receiving the equivalent annual salary their employees receive...

TLDR version It is a FTC contract paid as if you were an employee but probably without the benefits employees receive.

Ah you are right. They can put a load of text on the screen. Then reader has to understand it. It's tough out there.
