Trying to get wording changed on contract

[TheBA]

'Our contracts seek to address common IR35-related issues such as substitution rights and independent working as best they can while still reflecting the obligations we owe to our clients. We consider that the current wording appropriately reflects this. Accordingly, we are not in a position to alter the contracts in a way that would conflict with our client’s expectations or otherwise inaccurately reflect the anticipated working arrangements. On that basis, these provisions cannot be changed.'

That's the Adecco standard response. Have you spoken with them?
When I tried with Pontoon (same group), they were very close to defining it as a personal service between me and client co. I didn't push it any further (LALALA I didn't hear that). For me the contract passed and I've made sure the working practices do too.

Last Pontoon contract reviewed by QDOS, 3 changes suggested two accepted and incorporated into new contract. Working practices should be a key focus also...
