Advice - no work to do, client sending me home

[Cookielove]

We’ve been told not to work ...take the time off ! They won’t pay us ...simple as that...

It would be helpful if you gave a better title. You'll get advice no matter what so no need to ask. Give some better context in your title.

Could be out for a few weeks...the role is inside IR35

There you go. They can do that and have done so no advice needed then.

Could be out for a few weeks...the role is inside IR35

In that case I'd expect to be paid or walk. Why accept an inside role but be treated as if outside? Stuff that. As for the other "contractor" - that's their business.

True !

Because inside is a tax position only in theory. It's possible it has all the pillars of outside but the client is too scared. It could be it's all the same except RoS for example. So it's still a T&M contract and the client doesn't need T&M today. OP needs to check their contractor but I'd expect it to be broadly the same. Regardless of inside or outside it's still a T&M contract so you still get paid for a days work and don't for no work.

I see what you are saying, and I'm sure many would agree but it's still all about the contract regardless of tax position.

So you're not concerned about throwing away a solid outside IR35 position then...

It’s an inside role..not sure where this came from?

Because you didn't make it clear.
