I think your options are to come to Switzerland properly if you like Lakes and mountains. You can work through an umbrella and if you choose the right canton and tell them you’re an atheist then the tax isn’t too bad.

Otherwise if they will do you a remote outside IR35 one (i.e. that...

It’s from the State, but called insurance. A bit like National Insurance which you may have heard of? It doesn’t pay out if you don’t look for work....

Firstly Malissa, your questions are annoying and you will never be a real woman.
There are perfectly good numbers in my post which you even quoted, so why ask again?

Anyway, it works like this. Unemployment insurance pays out the equivalent of a £ninety-something-thousand a year...

[hugebrain]

You would use an umbrella in the country where you live and pay whatever the local tax is....

I’d be interested if anyone found a good answer. I’d like too look for work in France next year (Reunion or Moorea) if it’s allowed.

That assumption is correct (although the state makes a profit on the scheme, so you could argue that it’s fair, but it would be a stretch).

Not a pension.

But I would be grateful if someone could just check my sums for me. He just wants an idea of how low a salary it’s...

You’re confusing “the rate” with “his rate”. His rate is his, obviously.

The overall sum involved you won’t even know since the agent either won’t tell you or lies....

When they said “it’s a happy place” for the fifth time, how did you stop yourself from punching them in the face?...

[hugebrain]

Enough to bump it up to the same take home as £130,000 per year.

Why does nobody ever read the original post?...

You’ve obviously not been in that situation and met these people. I genuinely hope you never have to.

When you’re desperately trying to get treatment and some bitch with pound signs in her eyes is going on about how nice their hospice is and you can do finger-painting etc. Well, you...

He’s trying. But if he does it will increase inequality, damage the environment, harm his client/employer.

what is the reason for your suggestion?...

The average annual income in South Sudan is $460/year so by your logic $700 is a good annual wage? A good benchmark is to look at the house you can buy for 3 times salary. £70,000 is very badly paid unless subsidised by benefits (which it would be, so why I asked the question).

[hugebrain]

if it’s his rate, then it’s his money, not the umbrella’s....

It seems like you should get statutory notice of one week (or longer if it’s in the contract). That no work available zero notice thing should only be in outside IR35 contracts.

Whether they can get round this or not would have to be tested by the courts, which would cost them more than...

Doxxing shouldn’t be allowed!

Aside from that, I’ve found that my badly paid jobs have mostly been more fun than the high paying ones. Know that there’s a lot of poor permies on this board nowadays and I was thinking of joining them for an easy life....

Unemployment benefit - or you could call it an insurance payout if you like. Yes, it’s a lot....
