Interesting Concept

Fair enough.

I was contracting at an investment way back in 96-97 where they gave a bonus (10-15% ISTR) every 3 months if you met all your deliverables. This was in addition to reasonable rates. Never came across it again.

Wouldn't it be better to call it a end of project completion bonus. Implying a risk factor if the project failed and extra proof of ir35 status.

Yes - it's much better if the bonus is paid as a reward for completing the project / delivering what you are required to do, rather than just for turning up until the end of the contract.

One thing to be careful about is what happens if they terminate the contract early for whatever reason. I used to work in a theme park where at the end of the season, you got paid a bonus equivalent to 30p for every hour you'd worked (bringing my salary up to a princely £1.98 an hour!). Towards the end of the season, it was incredibly common for management to go looking for people to fire, so that they didn't have to pay the bonus.

What was the theme? Gitmo?
