That differs from what REC told me but it's not worth the hassle.

IPSE are dying and trying to find a replacement business model - sadly other people have got there first....

[eek]

I think my response would be tell me what handover you want and lets get on with it.

Then do absolutely nothing until the final day happens after all what are they going to do, fire you......

Still doesn't remove the point they've done more harm than good.

Case in point: the determination point of an outside IR35 contract being first payment by the end client changing something where originally the determination was clear cut into a game of chance...

Andy Hallett spent a couple of years helping some people develop a similar system. If you think about it, it may provide a better filter than a CV, here is someone talking about the issues you have rather than trying to deceive from a CV if this person can help you.

Yep it's strange (or...

Flu jabs have been received......
