Interesting to see which contractors are panicking over a cocaine test. No, it's nuclear industry.
As for PwC, my tests results list the agent as my line manager. I'm not sure if the client would agree though and that's a concern I need to address.
Is it worth asking how PwC will make their decisions and whether you can have any visibility of the process they're following?Comment

Also, there is no appeal process mandated by the law, merely that the assessor has one. Which means sod all in the real world.Blog? What blog...?Comment

I know I'm comparing apples with bananas but third party assessors who provide input to the DWP on benefits such as PIP work to a point scoring formula and if you understand how to nail each category then you're on to a winner. It's also the reason why a lot of severely disabled people do not claim successfully. They simply turn up to an interview and waffle on about their disability without doing any research.
I know we won't get asked for an interview but if I can at least understand the inputs to the process then I can second guess what evidence needs to be provided and do some legwork for the client.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostIt makes perfect sense. The client co has the assurance that a big 4 firm has made the assessment. PWC avoid any liability by ruling everyone inside. The contractor gets shafted. Trebles all round.
But if it has been demonstrated that the HMRC does not understand that which it has authored, I am wondering if PWC are taking their 'expertise' from court case based outcomes as opposed to whatever minimal waffle HMRC are purporting...?Comment

Originally posted by NeedTheSunshine View PostDon't think anybody is panicking over a drug test. I understand the need for it in some industries but otherwise there is no need for a client to be interested in one's recreational activities.Comment
