Lorien contracts and IR35 at a well known bank.

Nothing to do with change freezes and service protection in high volume periods.


It is in their contracts. They get paid by the day. If there is client doesn't require them to work they don't work. Just like when they want to take a holiday.

Not sure if it's them or you that's the bigger idiot.. but I do really.

Christ! 30K+ worth of posts? Do you actually do any work? It's skivers like you that give contractors a bad name!

Not everyone works in areas where change freezes are applicable - the furlough is a means of competing on rate whilst skimming a few weeks out of the year. It is irritating from a delivery perspective and we will not be doing it in 2018 in our area. The two contractors who have just signed will not have to endure a furlough.

...and no - its not written into their contracts (which QDOS appear to like)

Hate to admit this...but he's an iron fist in a velvet glove - he (irritatingly) tends to post relevant, correct and informative stuff (along worth the drivel)

Velvet fist in an iron glove. He's an adorable big eyed puppy when you get to know him.

NLUK tells people what they don't want to hear when they need to here it, with delightful acerbic wit. Just ignore the ask your accountant oneman meme.

That's the best bit of advice I give

Is that what your accountant told you, or is that your own unqualified opinion?
