*Not* allowed to interview for permanent position (AWR Regulations)

[BS1397]

Setting aside IR35, AWR, and all other theoretical technicalities;

Why would you want to work for a company/manager if you clearly believe that they don't value you or treat you equally to others? And even if you can persuade them to make you a Perm; You do realize that you will be on probation for say 6 months and they can show you the door anytime with a shiny P45?

Just make hay while you can and look for a "Contract-to-Perm" role in JobServe...etc.

Good luck

Some of the people who post threads like this are actually for real.

I've met quite a few contractors who simply don't understand (and don't want to understand) things like the difference between a temp and a limited company contractor and MOO.

And this is even after you have explained it to them and point them to resources like this site and PCG.

I think there are an awful lot of people who end up contracting because its easier to get a contracting job rather than a permanent one and then don't do the research involved to understand it in detail.

This seems a prime example of someone who wants to be permanent member of staff but doesn't realise he has already been interviewed (by doing the job) and been found wanting.

I have worked with contractors who don't understand, too. They think that they're only caught by IR35 once they have worked at the same client for 2 years, and are totally safe before then. I've tried telling them about MOO, D&C, and RoS, but they just don't listen. They just plod along agreeing to do whatever the client asks them, just like a permie would.
