Why clients don't care about IR35

[malvolio]

another for banning mobile and laptops (unless you DONT have a camera on your mobile).

My last client (top 50 company) would not allow me to use a laptop at all, which worried me at first, as I always try and use my own tools to avoid the permie pretending to be a contractor trap.

I've actually found this standard in banking, maybe I've picked the wrong banks!

That's more to do with knowing what's on their infrastructure and what's connecting to it. Banks have to meet a control regime (no, not SOX!) that's almost as rigid as the military and one option to limit risk is to use all their own-built kit.

Come to that, so do I. Only things built by my support group are allowed on to this client's infrastructure...
