Originally posted by oilboil View PostThey could have, but it costs them to process payroll and they have other costs like apprentice levy that the furlough doesn't pay. So they'd be paying out of their pockets to allow them to furlough him. It wouldn't be much but if they have lots of people on this type of payment process it would quickly mount upComment

I'd be straight off getting another gig. Then if I got one handing in notice if I could on the first one. If there was no notice period then its more complicated of course.
Apply MOO and say no thanks in 3 months?
I dont think any of us would sit at home and suck up the 3 months....Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Originally posted by psychocandy View Posthmm yes I suppose. But OK client says take 3 months off (and you've got 5 month left). What would you do?

Was just being pedantic about the wording..
they can tell contractors they're not needed for 3 months then they are still obliged to come back if requested
The reality is, as you stay, no one in their right mind would stick around. They'd get another gig, give notice and leave.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by oilboil View PostNo - if you are paying employers NI you aren't an employee, you are a contingent resource using their payroll processing service. If you were an actual employee they would pay the employers NI as they are your employer. I can't see a staffer at Accenture being asked to pay the employers NI due on their salary, can you?
The client pays the fee to the agency. The agency deducts their percentage, leaving the notional fee. They then make all the PAYE deductions, including erNIC, and hand over to the worker what's left. The fact that the erNIC comes out of a the notional fee is utterly irrelevant. Legally, the worker is an employee of the agency. Just as it would be if the worker had gone through an umbrella company.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
