Hypothetical Question (sort of) which I don't think has been done before. I'll give as much detail as I can, might not all be relevant but might help. So apols if it's long winded but you've got nothing better to do...
My last role was a permy position (approx 9 months) which I left to go contracting . Have been contracting for 2 years + 3 months, all for the same Client (not sure if that's a good or bad thing but not complaining...top top rate!)
My old permy employer is looking to do some interviews to recruit both contractors/permies in the same area I work in (testing - if that matters). They never really replaced me when I left (obviously didn't get over the pain of me leaving...) and it's taken them this long to realise how crucial and important a testing function is within any organisation which means they haven't really got anyone with suitable knowledge to conduct the interviews.
OK, don't want a lecture on this next statement from all the cold long term contractors but...I'm thinking I could suggest offering one day helping with the interviews etc for free - my guilt kicking in as I left them in the lurch after 9 months of them investing in me.
Would this help at all with IR35 if I get the assignment in writing/contract?
