We'll either be inside or out, no debate (I'd put my mortgage on the fact that the tool will not be in our favour).
Not too sure how the likes of QDOS will even be able to offer insurance against that either.Comment

There are other models agencies can use for placing contractors that differ from the common model used in the UK.
Unlike the public sector private sector clients vary greatly in size and industry. Some of them don't even have a physical presence in the UK."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Also, to be clear, when I say, compulsory, I mean legislated. Guidance is another matter but, from the commentary I've read, it won't be mandated.Comment

This means the contract is between you and the client, leaving it up to the client how they want to engage you. The agent gets a fee for finding you but the particulars of that are none of your business."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by magicbuttons View PostFunnily enough, I'm in exactly the same position... hi JB
On the question of how much the rate would need to be marked up to get the same take-home inside v outside, I've done some rough sums based on a £400p/d rate, and it seems to vary between 15% (contract within short commute/WFH) and 45% (long/expensive commute, half-decent hotel/B&B, subsistence). Emphasis on the word "rough" without knowing the ins and outs yet, and of course percentages would vary with the rate.
Anyone think perhaps we might see an increase in the number of WFH contracts available, as clients won't care about bums on seats so much if it's costing them another 30% on day rate?Comment
