I think the most frightening thing coming out of all this is how clueless the majority of contractors are and how the agencies/clients don't understand a word of it either. What the hell is going to happen come April I just don't know
Agencies panic in March, don't get things done in time for April and payroll is delayed while they work out what to do....
April payments arrive rather smaller than before and people appear here trying to find answers to the questions (that's why the FAQ is there)..merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostThose of us with some involvement with PS.....
I've advised both agency and consultancy (who I work through at their PS client site) that something needs to be sorted. They've mentioned extension (luckily current one ends end Feb which is ideal) but I've said until its sorted its a no.
Trouble is both agency and client seem totally clueless. Even more so fellow contractors I work with. Of course, most dont even seem to realise it applies to work PAID in April either.
Can see a lot of people sleepwalking into this and then it all going pete tong to be honest...
Having had quite a lot of ups and downs in my business with increased competition/too many people in the market/supply etc I need to get a new contract, and after 6 mths with no work I've just been offered a 3 mth (low rate too)with an NHS client via an agency. Having been out of Public Sector for 2 yrs (although a little aware of the increasing legislation & document requirements) I am really fed up with the amount of information and disclosure that is required, am v.risk averse and if I sign up I believe I will be exposed to a big risk... The agent I deal with, who is a nice lad, will not be aware of the implications I don't think. This morning i have to make a decision if I decide not to accept then hope to get whatever other work is about in future. Worrying times for me personally.Comment
