    Why is everyone assuming the OP is going via an umbrella?

      And if the hiring manager refuses to sign those? What then? You gonna refuse to do any more days off?

      This is a really dumb idea when a better method already exists. It's called a higher day rate than the permies.

        It would obviously be in your contract. eg The worker is entitled to 15 days fully paid off during this (six month) contract.

        This could be something you could try on and ask for at renewal on top of your already high rate.

        Extra gravy for you without breaking the clients existing budget.

            You do realise that no client is going to put all these extra processes in just for a temporary supplier resource don't you. If someone is pushing all this then just bin them and get the next person in that is quite happy to work under the existing terms.

            All this stuff you are sprouting is just fanciful.

              I think the original poster on this thread was just joking.

              But to be pedantic doesn't every job/role/position have some sort of contract? Even Permie. Written or implied in law.

                What do you mean by flexi leave?

                The majority of the companies I've supplied services to and even worked for offer some sort of flexible working arrangements. Only because if they don't they know that if they ever require you to start early, work late or work on the weekend you will tell them where to go.

                  As previously stated inside as we stand now inside is purely a taxation category as opposed to an employment status one. However one day someone will test it in court.

                    How - if you are working via an umbrella company your umbrella company is your employer.

                      The client is not your employer. Your umbrella company, or your own limited company, is your employer. You should ask them. The client is paying them inclusive of all the stuff u have asked for.
