Couple of questions I've been meaning to get off my chest for a bit.
First of all at what stage do you deem a hotel necessary when negotiating a contract? Say you're required to be on-site only 2-3 days a week but it's two hours drive away. Is a hotel stay a bit excessive for something that close? Still a bit of a drive it's not like a 8 hour drive or something crazy. I presume if the client is willing to pay then a hotel might be the better option. Kind of a grey area I think.
Second, IR35. I've read the rules and I think it's obvious but how about this scenario. End user is overseas. The role resourced through a UK recruiter, on behalf of an Overseas only consultancy (no UK presence) and the end-client is Overseas based (but with a UK presence) The contract is with the consultancy. IR35 determination applicable here or default to Outside?
