Contractors to get sick pay, holiday pay etc

[BolshieBastard]

We've had to look at this at client co (one of my jobs).

The basic advice is for agency temps to keep them on training wages for 2 years then bin them.

As long as they are on a "training wage" then you can be paid differently etc.

Yeah like it takes 2 years to train someone!

I suspect this is about end Clients being forced to remunerate singleton contractors (through a 3rd party company or not) on a par with employees. This will no doubt mean 'invoicabale days' when you're not on site, or a certain number of 'invoicable days' per year when ill.

As I've already pointed out, contractors are not Temporary Agency Workers. This has no effect whatsoever on contractors or their clients.

This legislation is for temps and has no effect on us Ltd co professionals.

As long as they are on "structured" training and its "regular" you can use them as a temp for 2 years.

Boomed.

I pay myself a salary while on holiday now. It's myco that looses out as they can't bill the client. Hopefully any new legislation of this nature would point to me being outside of IR35

Unless you dump the Ltd and work as a sole trader... or is that not possible?

[The Lone Gunman]

Surely if you are IR35 caught then this legislation will apply.
This is as good an incentive for agents and clients to make sure that we have proper B2B contracts as there has been.

I also pay my salary when I am benched, on holiday or sick.

In your dreams!

Why do you imagine that being "deemed" an employee will entitle you to these rights? I snort with derision at the suggestion!
