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.Comment

You could push hard on the "It's not my fault, give me something to do" angle and/or you could just bill for it anyway and see.
You might be able to argue some sort of partial payment but that would come down to someone being reasonable because if they want to, they can just say "tough".
It's a hard situation especially if you're inside IR35 but ultimately still part of contracting life. Negotiate the best you can.
How long have you been in the contract?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

How long have you been in the contract?
The conversation was pre empted by the other contractor volunteering to take time off unpaid as we couldn’t fully operate. This set the bar so to speak ...it gave them the out to say ok stay at home cheers for offering. I was then told do the same ...they are not paying.
it could be a while ‘til things are fixed ...?
I need to work the other person apparently doesn’t need the £ ...there actions have impacted me rightly or wrongly ...we might have been told to take the time off but not quite so soon and may have been able to negotiate if it wasn’t volunteered so quickly with no thought ...

Look for another contract and if it isn’t fixed by Wednesday hand in your notice.
(The only clause I reject out of hand are no notice periods allowed, for this reason.)"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
