Generic Fixed Price Contract

[shaeney]

Well, until recently, yes, on a very good rate, thank you very much.

Next contract is in Bristol though.

Talking with a few other contractors who also thought that multiple concurrent contracts was a possible pointer away from IR35. Why cant Gordo and co just make things simpler?

Treating us like employees, but without the associated benefits, sucks.

P.S. better a Jack than a bluebird...

[shaeney]

Indeed.

Or a Turk.

Don't even go there! The Mrs is an all-black/Turk hybrid and she is focing me to live in Llangennech. As a Jack, you can understand how much pain that causes me. I mean, what am I supposed to tell the children about their heritage?

Indeed.

Or a Turk.

excuse my ignorance, but is a 'Turk' slang for a person from another part of Wales / another Welsh football team?

Or do you not like Turks!??!

That's right, you wouldn't be. Concurrent fixed term work would not be classed on each individual contract separately. That is only for 9-6 bum on seaters, who claim they are working concurrent contracts when in fact they are working part time on two or more regular contracts that may be constantly renewed and have no obvious end date in mind for an hourly or daily rate, giving them a regular income stream with no risks attached. Otherwise it's for office based contractors who would still claim they are outside ir35 just because they squeeze in a bit of irrelevant side-line work at the weekends or weekends which doesn't make any difference at all to the amount of billing to their regular client for the full 8 hours or day.

If that were not the case, then no freelancer would be able to claim they are freelance, whether they worked from home or not.

Denny, the above is gibberish, please rewrite, but in normal English, not in civil service speak, if possible.

Ta in advance.

It's really simple:
Cardiff=Bluebird(scum)
Neath=All-Black (and the forementioned "neaf,neaf,neaf" chant)
Swansea=Jack(after the world famous Swansea Jack dog, who saved millions of swimmers lives)
Llanelli=Turk

Mixing rugby and football slang, but there you go.

aha! thanks!

Is it true that all Welsh football / rugby fans get on swimmingly, in the finest of sporting tradition.... or is it a case still of trashed M4 service stations on derby-days

you can still drink in your seat at rugby, not the same in football.

In the grand tradition of the CUK forums.

OK, so we are saying that regardless of what anyone says, and the wording of the contract with respect to being able to work on multiple contracts concurrently, this in no way impacts on IR35 compliance? which is to say that Gordo and his minions will still consider you as an employee if the practices you follow are the same as those who are in full time employment?
