1 month rolling contract

You have a contract for a month. If its not renewed it ends.

Pretty much the same as a permie job with 4 weeks notice. At any time they give you notice you have 4 weeks left.

you are about to get rolled over by your agency

It means effectively that you have a job for life until you are given a months notice

I had a one month rolling contract for several years whilst doing my PhD. New contract every month. Several pages thick. By the end I had one complete filing cabinet draw filled just with the contracts. Sometimes they would slip up and I would work for several months without a contract. Then they would catch up. My pidgeonhole would overflow. Academia, yous just gotta lurv the mindset.

Strange!

I had a rolling contract once and I only ever got one set of paperwork. I think you guys should look up the definition of 'rolling' in this context.

doesn't rolling put you in IR35 land if it's defined in ONE CONTRACT ?

as opposed to have a NEW CONTRACT each month ?
