Another one bites the dust (NHS IT Project)
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
I would expect this to be one of many such stories in the coming weeks.
Part of the problem is that HMRC have given end clients little or no time to prepare for and implement these changes and very good reason to be nervous about getting it wrong.
The knee jerk reaction then is to say "all PSC's are inside" and for all PSC's to say "no thank you".
Return to your seats, fasten belts and ensure seat backs are in their upright position with trays secured - turbulence ahead! -
“XP is no longer stable and no longer supported by Microsoft,” said a techie familiar with the trust’s project.
Rather than stay and accept the trust’s decision, or avoid it but pay more tax by becoming PAYE umbrella staff, the 30 are set to move as one team to an end-user outside of the rules.Comment

This whole thing is designed to throw these types of contractors under a bus and rightly so - they've been falsely declaring themselves as outside. While Hector isn't popular at the moment, the contracting population isn't helping itself.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

I do wish people would stop with the lazy generalisations. You haven't considered the possibility that the client needs a fluid resource for a variable workload during a period of major change and has recruited contractors to fill the gaps? Or that those contractors are sufficiently skilled - let's face it, 3rd line support are rarely dummies in any establishment - to decide how best to fix whatever it is that's gone wrong?
You are in or out of IR35 based on the terms of your engagement and working practices. BaU does not mean you are automatically caught: arguably any coder and BA is far more likely to be caught since they will have direction and supervision in their day-to-day work.Blog? What blog...?Comment
