New contract within IR35 by default?

[QUOTE=northernladuk;2241928]OK, we'll have to beg to differ. The client has a requirement for some work to be done and he has a budget to cover it. That's it IMO.
Actually, i agree with what you are saying. Client wants a worker within ir35 for a fixed budget. Take it or leave it.
But is that what they really want or as someone else posted, are they risk adverse, badly advised or just honest about their requirement? Either way, the likely outcome is that they will get a different group of candidates as a result.Comment

HR won't like this. SDC will push temporary workers far too close to employees for their comfort.
Trust me this stuff is giving both my brother and sister in law nightmares (they are both senior hr bods with masters in employment law).
Remember there are two sides to every battle and the phrase "could these SDC changes result in more people claiming employee rights or more tribunals" works wonders...
Im looking forward to the weekend when I can discuss parasol still allowing their employees to claim expenses...Last edited by eek; 21 April 2016, 12:38.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Latest update.
Just called agency to let them know I won't take on the contract. They are still pushing the line that all agencies and contractors will be working in the same way from now on, everyone will be within IR35. Anyway just told them only way I can take on the job is if it is not within IR35 for it to be worth while to me, he has now gone to speak to his supervisor. Not really holding out much hope, time to move on...Comment
