If push comes to shove, it would be difficult to argue that this was definitely outside IR35 it must be said. But, like I've always said, its a 7 weeks contract.
No extension on the table anyway but I won't be extending. Working here for a long contract and then having HMRC knock on the door would be a definite worry.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostYes agreed. Somewhat worrying the way the way the client views contractors I must admit. To be honest, they do seem to treat like short term permies. i.e. usual telling you what to do crap etc. Bit of an attitude also that they 'own' you for the period that you're working for them which is not on.Comment

Originally posted by jmo21 View PostBasically, that is exactly how most clients see contractors. They don't care about IR35, how you get paid, your tax etc, and nor should they.
This includes criticism of hours worked, comments about dress code, general thinking they can 'tell' contractors what hours to work and how to behave. Not to me but generally to all contractors. It is exaclty like being a permie for a few weeks.
Last client, for all their issues, never told me what time to turn up, never moaned if I turned up late, never told me what to wear, and left me alone. I was there for over two years but not once did I get this hassle.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Hmmm. Had a bit of a 'disagreement' with PM last night.
Very strange fella. Its an outsourcing company so all he seems concerned about is making himself look good to his end client by having the place packed with bodies.
Had a problem last night that I was not involved in. There were already 4-5 people involved and it was not something I had any experience in (and I was doing other stuff).
Anyway, shortly before end of my 12 hours he tried to say everyone had to stay. Pointless for me to just sit there. And they had night shift coming in anyway. Don;t think he was too impressed with me.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
