Badenoch & Clark - Standard Contract Fails IR35?

[thunderlizard]

Going to start tomorrow with no contract

Why for goodness sake? contracts never take more than a couple of days to sort out: especially if you hold back your services until everything's ready.

Exactly - I held out for a few days on the current gig, and got the contract that I wanted rather than the blatantly IR35 caught contract on offer. I don't work without a contract in place, so there is never any ambiguity about what terms were agreed and what weren't.

Well I could use the money. A lot better than driving even on IR35 rates. About twice as good even paying all that tax.


If I wasn't wanting to go back to the client where I have worked before (its a decent project) then I'd kick off more.

If they say no to the changes I'll just use it as 3 months to find another project - being on the bench was starting to get boring.

Ok, stuff IR35. This office is stocked with sub-25 year old honeys (well it is a fashion office).

I think I can last this for 3 months.

I've got an interview lined up via B&C next week. Does nubile young tottie come as standard with their contracts then?

[Sockpuppet]

Well at the moment they are on a 50% ratio of contracts :: plenty of talent

So its looking good.

Well mine is with a large mechanical eningeering firm so I'll probably end up with a bunch of hairy arsed blokes up to their elbows in Swarfega.
