Clientco demands work beyond scope of duties on contract

[TykeMerc]

Permanent I hope Cojak, that particular sockie has been banned before if memory serves.

Well played anyway

And who can also shove said lollipop where the sun don't shine.

I don't move aside for chumps, sonny jim...

Ooh a Cojak ban. Worth 10x an RH.

I'm all for a good 'troll' but Pro boards are a No No.

To the Op question. If you don't like it don't do it.

I would definitely get a separate schedule raised against the contract to cover the new stuff. As to whether it would have a different rate on it - depends on various things, but you're well within your rights.

To all the more experienced contractors,
My understanding was that working on projects beyond the scope of the duties on contract is a strict no no for IR35 friendly work practices. Is that not correct? I would sign a new contract (may be sub-contract or an amendment to existing one) to work on a out of scope project work.
Or I may have my understanding of the IR35 completely wrong.

How on earth does someone mentally ill get beyond 1000 posts on a forum without being noticed?

Actually, on second thoughts, best not answer that.

Your contract should be written to have your list of duties/deliverables on it for the project.

However you may find the scope is vague due to the person/lawyer writing them not having a clue about what you actually do. The best ones ask you to check/amend it so you can write the list in such away it gives you a chance to learn new technologies/skills on the job.

The only way to keep continually in contract is to keep you skills up to date and learn new stuff. The only way to do that is

1) do jobs that fall outside your day to day remit as they allow you skill set to improve
2) keep on the right side of the people paying your bill. If they ask you to solve a problem for them it is not an IR35 problem, it is a marketing opportunity to keep them happy and get a renewal.
