The business secretary, Vince Cable, has warned “unscrupulous employers” that he plans to ban clauses in zero-hours contracts that prevent workers from accepting shifts with more than one employer.Last edited by eek; 5 December 2014, 23:29.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I have to say, that despite all the arguments one way and another I've seen nothing so far that makes me think that I would want to switch to an FLC or any other "Freelancer Company" structure..
IR35 is a nuisance, but thats all. We know how to manage it, negotiate contracts, take out insurance etc and get on with the job. Sometimes I have multiple clients, sometimes I have just one, thats the nature of being in business.
Using anything else would mean shutting down my existing Ltd with all the associated costs; changing shareholdings as MrsB is currently a minority shareholder; and overall would leave me worse off. Without exact figures it's only a guess but I'd probably be better off just going permie or working via an umbrella and be done with it.

BUMP - for IPSE members, there is an update in the Policy and Consultations forum here.
For non-IPSE members, it's still there, but you need to join (and vote!) before you can see it.Comment

Useful letter anyway. I don't think it says much that we didn't know, i.e. it's a tough backdrop, but it's important to hear these concerns from people that know what they're talking about. The downside risks of IPSE lending credibility to the FLC structure remain, as do the upside benefits of influencing the design. One can argue the balance either way. My concern is more with the working assumption that it will be (can be) optional, because I think it clearly won't be optional.Comment
