How much does a 40K p/a employee cost?

[DimPrawn]

Sounds like they don't really need a contractor, they need a fairly low paid permie.

I'd move on.

You'll only end up taking this crappy "contract", get lots of IR35 hassles and then one month in find a £350 pd contract on the table somewhere else.

Onwards and upwards!

look they are always going to pay what market rates are because
as a contractor it's quite easy to leave as soon as better paying
contracting job comes up, not so easy with permie roles.

So they need to have a budget that will pay the market rate for a
contractor in case you do decide to leave next week because you get a
better rate.

Nope....there's always someone out there that will do it for peanuts, a monkey no doubt

I'm only considering because it's a civilised location and a chance to get in the thick MS BI end-to-end. I see it something like an apprenticeship. That and it includes expensive gym and racquet club membership.

They advertised it as a fixed term permy role. I guess you're completley right about the IR35, but then again, nearly all IT contracts seem to sale close the wind on that one.

Hmmm...well I've not been offered it yet. If I am then will play hard ball...£250 and guaranteed chance to gain skills and experience or no go.

P.S. £350s actually a bit low compared to what I've got in the past but I'm getting stale and really need to take a year to get on top that.

Bear in mind that the employers direct costs may not go from £45,000 to £0 if the employee is going on maternity leave.

If they only pay Statutory Maternity Pay then their additional costs will only be a few hundred quid but if they have an enhanced scheme it could cost them several thousand while she's "benched".

Sounds like they need Bob, where is he when you need him.

That and it includes permie benefits that help prove that I am a disguised employee inside IR35.

FTFY.

No one will know about the benefits I don't think... just matter of adding a few lines to a few tables here and there and getting a card.

As far as IR35 goes, this is probably the worst one so far In fact I'd go so far as to say, I'm being foolish by pretending it's not inside.

What's the penalty if they catch u?

6 months in prison, was in the small print of the last budget.
