As for the hours: the work load far exceeds the 7.5 hours required. I work on a team with seasoned perms who are doing what I'm doing with the same amount of work load, which is why all of them have been putting in 10-12 hours days.

Besides, as chicane says, it's all about delivery, not the time spent as a bum-on-seat. Or are you hypocritically advocating we all act like disguised permies now?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

It's all about perspective.
The perspective may be "this person always leaves early", even if that person actually always leaves on time and gets the work done.
If they hold that perspective, you need to change it, even if it is wrong for them to hold it.
Perspective is truth.Comment

Perspective is truth.
As we're continually reminded, actual working practices trump contract wording. If all your client wants from you is a bum-on-a-seat to perform work as and when the client decides they want you to (and you happily do this based on the knowledge that this is how the client will judge you), then you're almost certainly operating just like the permanent staff and that's going to put you directly in the IR35 firing line.Comment
