Query, been onsite for 3 years and 1 week contracting, perm roles upcoming

[barroom hero]

Put bluntley, I've been on site for 3 years and a week with a local authority, the first 2 years I worked through an umbrella, then changed to ltd. no gaps, no hols, no sickness, no change of company, no change of location, no change of role.

Perm roles are coming up but where do I stand, shouldn't I be offered one of thes no questions asked?

Nope.

You need to understand the difference between providing services through a company and being a temporary employee.

You have no right to be offered a permie position as it's the company that you are a Director of who is supplying personnel to fulfil a business contract.

Don't feed the troll.

As the second poster said.

But if after 3 years you haven't built good relationships with those who make these decisions then that's a little worrying.

At the end of the day you could be in with a good shot at a perm role so apply for one, unless of course the perm roles are being created to replace you because you are a doofus.

HTH

to replace you because you are a doofus

If it has taken them 3 years to figure that out that would be a bit worrying.

If you are wondering if you have some "right" to a permie job after all this time, the answer is no.

But there is nothing to stop you from going from contract to permie, lots of people have done it. Don't be shy, go right up to them and declare your undying love and devotion to the boss and ask if they have any permie jobs.

Yes. It is your legal entitlement.

cheers for responses, I shall pass the message on as there are 10 of us. We were adament that after 24 months an employer was legally deemed to have proven a role was available. Ho Hom.

We're not all happy about the perm roles, as central gov cuts will be in place for new employees, and if anyone thinks im working 5 days and getting paid for 4 has another thing coming.
