Staying in the same public sector contract after April 2017

[daemon]

So this was released today. I haven't read it all but am I right in thinking that a "worker" (which is what I expect the new PS contracts will imply in IR35 bound contracts) is entitled to paid salary (para 1.ii, 3.i and 12)

Yes, but whats your point?

She is indeed

Is she though? Has the chain of payment stuff been cleared up? I wasn't aware that it had been.

Mainly that the worker, you, would get paid holiday. That's a very big financial plus right there.

I don't think she is.

I know contractors who are hired by a services company to work on a government contract awarded to said service company. They're all being asked to sign new "off payroll" contracts.

Yeah but this is Cap Gem. Think about it.

... put me out of my misery.

Are you saying she's right in the literal sense of what she said, or are you saying that this feeds in to a larger conspiracy that the big IT service providers would get a cushy exception.

[eek]

surely you would be contracting to Capgemini rather than HMRC, so you would actually be in private sector role - working for a consultancy?

Nope it's still a bum on seat in hmrc so probably inside.

Worse hmrc was offering £600 a day for these roles back in October

It all depends on the nature of the supply. The best explanation I have seen to date is here.

Something like that. Either way make sure on the wording of your contract. The big consultancies are going to be looked after, just the way it has been for years (regardless about how I feel about that). If the letter of the law was taken into consideration then I suppose there's a chance they could deem you inside 35, but no one has the resources for that and they aren't going to annoy CG with that.

And now they will likely be paying around £1250.

You couldn't make it up
