Compare that to large unions or the CBI who are so big and powerful that Prime ministers want to go to their conferences.Leave a comment:

Oh and you still haven't said what advice on here is incorrect.
QDOS is quite (very) expensive in comparison for their TLC35 cover, admittedly they'll coguh up some money if you lose.
If IPSE+ legal representation isn't very good, who would you recommend just for that?Leave a comment:

There are some people offering bad advice in this thread - usually best to do the exact opposite of what they say for a happy and fulfilling contracting career
And yes, your client will determine your status from April - it won't automatically cause a problem retroactively, but that alone shouldn't be the reason you're not covered. Did you get a contract review and have you got IPSE Plus?
If you didn't get the review take that as a lesson for next time (I didn't get my first one reviewed either after accepting the recruiter line that "they don't make changes", something I've since learnt was bollocks - but you can still get IPSE+.
Could you actually point out what advice you think is wrong as you haven't actually said anything beyond the opinion of some people (who I won't mention) is wrong and it's very likely that other people have already done more to contradict them than you have.Last edited by eek; 19 February 2021, 12:02.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostYou'll be treated as an employee of the consultancy when working for the client site and it's highly likely the consultancy will also treat you like a permie while you are as well. You'll be doing exactly the same as their perms and you'll all be expected to perform in the same way so SDC, no subs etc. Not a good IR35 position.
The other consultancy just happens to be onsite at the same time.
Unless the OP has been told to by the client that his work is being managed by the consultancy, is subject to their control, this all seems irrelevant to me.Last edited by Fraidycat; 18 February 2021, 11:15.Leave a comment:
