Contractor furloughs are the closest you can get to a silver bullet against IR35 - a case was won several years back and this was a factor.Comment

I look forward to the furlough every year.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

I certainly plan my leave well in advance to capitalise on cheaper fares and also have family commitments like most people. There is no 'twisting' of words just 'screwing' with people's lives.
You also miss the point that their employees have no say or negotiation powers. For the past 4 years they have had to suffer furloughs at very short notice and without any consultation or grounds for redress - and longer periods....thus the draconian label stands.Comment

Problem with DXC is their rates are shockingly low to start with. Booting the contractors out for three week is yet another kick in the balls.Comment

And not much would happen in that period so they’re not going to want to pay people to do nowt (well no more than usual anyway). Most of their customers have a change freeze over those weeks as well.See You Next TuesdayComment
