Why do you imagine that being "deemed" an employee will entitle you to these rights? I snort with derision at the suggestion!
If the Government deems me to be a temporary employee (hence IR35 applies) then there must be a reasonable argument that law applied to temporary employees should be applied.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostThis could put the willies up the clients and especially their HR departments so that they become more open to contracts which clearly leave the contractor outside IR35. With IR35 I've always thought that the lack of a financial hit on the end client meant that us little guys could rarely force a change because there was no financial fallout for the end client. If we get caught for IR35 then we pay the tax due. However if caught, then what is there to stop the contractor fighting for these employment related benefits.
I said at the time that this was carte blanch for any business to avoid employment law with impunity. I seem to have been wrong on that as the likes of Asda and McDs are not yet insisting on all their staff being contractors, but they will one day.
There has been no incentive for UK clients to work in a proper B2B manner and it has always been my opinion that many of our clients actually want "temployees" but are unwilling to pay for them.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
