Originally posted by northernladuk View PostNot really. The upper contract is none of our business and is possible it won't carry all the information pertaining to our engagement anyway. It's mostly about the engagement with the agency. We do have to trust the agents that key details are in there like RoS but at the end of the day working practices on site trump the contract anyway. It's always been like this and we've managed.
You lodging a pointless appeal using a process that isn't even in place yet won't support anything at all. You should be able to see this. There are no facts at all that support your thinking and you are the only person, on here and in RL that thinks this which speaks volumes.
I don't need to disagree, there is no factual evidence that supports your actions. All I see is another contract being a bit of a tit for no apparent reason or gain which is going to do more damage for other contractors than good.
As I say, the appeals process won't kick in until after April when the legislation kicks in so you all you are doing is looking like a trouble maker.working practices on site trump the contract anyway. It's always been like thisComment

there was a contractual right of substitution.
NLUK claims that the actual working arrangements have always trumped the contractual provisions. I re-iterate that this was not the case in December 2002. The situation might have changed since,Comment

Originally posted by Lance View PostIt's perfectly legal. It's not meaningless. It is what it is. A contract for services between yourco and the agency.
The agency are the one with the problem in that if there is a mismatch they are the ones on the hook. And that's why they have short notice periods, usually shorter than the upstream notice.
As for RoS. In most cases it's a sham. Most clients wouldn't accept and most agents wouldn't either as they'd want the sub as their man onsite. In that regard it's equally a sham so probably one of the better balanced clauses
I've been advised by the agency that the end client will be making an outside SDS determination.
However, I am not fully confident I can just rely on that alone? Do I simply just ask the agency for proof in writing from client before agreeing to stay on?
What do I need to do in addition to this to make it bullet proof? does the agency re-issue a new contract or do I keep the existing and if an outside SDS is made do Qdos need to revisit their decision re insurance?
do I need a written SDS from the client and what should it say exactly?
If an investigation ever arose and it was proved I was inside, would I only be responsible for the repayment of taxes for pre-April part of the engagement and post April it would be the client?Comment
