After nearly 7 months out, I finally got a new gig with the NHS that was declared "inside" so I took it. I asked for the SDS on starting but it never arrived. Not wanting rock the boat as I was desperate for some income I just sucked it up, signed with the Umbrella Co and put the Ltd into dormancy.
Five months in and I was looking through the documentation loaded in the Umbrella's portal, as the paperwork I had didn't have a schedule to say when the gig ended. That's when I realised that 1. I hadn't actually signed the contract (it was signed by what looks like NHS and Umbrella personnel) and 2. The contract is an "outside" contract, all about right to substitute, no mutuality, etc. Your bog standard "outside" contract.
What can/would you do? Kick off and demand all the tax back I have paid? Wait till renewal at the end of this month and query it? Nothing - be grateful for an extension.
