What I do is to find some service improvement that can be made and offer ClientCo to do it in addition to what I'm there for. If they decline I can resume browsing the internet with clear conscious, so far it's about 50/50 success rate (whichever direction you want to call success)

It counts towards being outside IR35 (as a provable work practice) when you are telling the client you won't be onsite (or working remotely) due to nothing to do at that moment and for them to contact you when the next phase of the project (or whatever) is ready.
So by skiving on the client's dime you are only digging yourself into a hole if HMRC investigate your working practices and find you were behaving like a lazy permie.
Well, I've had the conversation & they've come back with that dreaded acronym.

Think I'm going to tell them to call me when there's actually some project work on tap again.Comment

Yes I loved a bit of BAU, in that when they tried to get me to do some I told them I could only do strictly project based work (as an agreed working practice with my 'handler' at the client) and if they really wanted me to do it they'd need to wrap it up as a mini project. They never could be bothered to do that, and found some other mug to do it.Originally posted by Pip in a Poke View Post
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
