Here's a thought - you could charge a contractor rate and buy medical insurance, pensions and pay for days off sick.
If you wouldn't consider doing that with your own money then I'd question the value of having it deducted at source by someone else.Comment

Not true - I worked as a so called perm - or should I say 'contract of unspecified duration' - HR was forever pulling up staff who called in 'sick' they gave verbald and written warnings for anybody with over 5 days sicks per year withoug Doctor Notes - the days of not turning up because you cant face a day at the office - are being closed down by HR.
Thank goodness if I now fail to turn up for work - I tdont get paid - so in the past year Ive had - half a day off work through illness.Comment

IMHO permie job security is pretty much non-existent these days, and don't expect more than the square root of bugger-all in redundancy unless you have been employed for at least 2 years...Comment

Originally posted by DaveB View PostWHS. I went permie in Jan. Managed to get better than 1000 * hourly rate on the salary plus usual benefits so although I'm earning less than I was I'm still effectivly within the range I would have considered for a contract day rate.
My personal view is that the market is going to be tuliped for 18 months or so, so I'm keeping my head down in what I'm treating as an 18 month IR35 caught contract.
When the market picks up again next year I'll look to jump back to contracting again.
I took it for the exact same reasons as above plus its a doddle to get to and from work and the 1000 * hourly rate ratio matches what my last hourly rate was, hols and other perks are fine, so I'm OK with it.
Can not see things getting much better for at least 12-18 months or so in the current climate, and got fed up being on the bench even though I did a couple of training courses and also read loads and loads of posts on here and elsewhere "that come the spring / autumn (delete as appropriate) it will pick up again" could'nt see it myself as I remember the downturn after Y2k.
Another question though, as I am back in permy work, I was thinking of ditching my accountants as salary/NI/PAYE etc will all be done with the company I am now working for, and possibly winding my company down or at least end the agreement with the accountants and just keep the company name as there is always the possibility that I might go back to contracting in the future, is this the right thing to do, anyone been in the same position?
Cheers.Comment
