Staying in the same public sector contract after April 2017

[eek]

I've heard that their blanket decision wasn't what some of the other government departments wanted to hear. Lets see what happens.

I can understand that. I can also understand why TfL will keep to it...

This is really already turning out to be a lot more fun, earlier, than previously expected

I can confirm the market for Commercial Directors who understand this is heating up

I had a chat yesterday, a disappointing chat actually, with an agency would said they they had resigned to the fact that rates will drop and everyone will be inside ir35. Basically no fight in them. So after explaining that there will follow a mass exodus of skills out of the public sector he replied "yeah that's just the way it will be, they'll bounce along the bottom with zero skills".

So they are expecting rates to drop also...So a reduced starting point and a higher percentage lost to tax. Who exactly do they think will be signing up for this one?

Exactly, this agent had no fight.

Where did rates dropping coming in to it? The contractors income is going to change but I didn't see anything that said rates as a whole were going to change? This shouldn't have any impact on the rate cards the agencies use should it?

TfL

Not surprised to hear TfL announcement that they are banning PSC's from Feb, so either full PAYE, umbrella or leave. I left a while back and warned loads of people about the off-payroll rules, looks like the chickens have come home to roost!

Rates drop to bring into line with permies salaries (pro rated). Employee benefits notwithstanding.
