How are project managers supposed to plan when they don't have a standard format for resource availability?
I inform the PM via email that I'm not available to the client for a particular duration and I save said email. I then use the standard format for resource availablity to inform the system.
I dont see that as D&C."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

And now how about being forced to complete a form called "annual leave request" and on the form there is a field for "line manager" and a field for his/her boss.
They then approve or reject the request and you get an email.
You have to do this. Just like the employees.

Completing a form for processing once you have already informed the client that you won't be there doesn't become direction and control.Comment

2) HMRC would need to prove D&C, lack of MOO and lack of RoS, so to walk away from a contract based on a worrying interpretation of direction and control seems silly.
3) Even if you accepted being controlled, having some mutuality of obligation and not having a right of substitution, would 100% inside IR35 income not outweigh 100% no income?Comment

There was a differentiating factor. Agency contractors and employees had to complete this form.
Consultants, working there solidly for months did not have to do this.

I would leave a contract if my unavailablity was refused (actually, I would be unavailable for the duration specified and then let them terminate my contract) or if D&C was attempted, or they tried to move me from out of the project for which I was taken on;
you know, for trying to turn me into an employee.
In the meantime, I will log all clear water between myself and the client, keep up-to-date with my PCG+ and carry on."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
