Contract Inside IR35 = Anything Goes?

[Willy Win]

I'm assuming the worst that can happen is that the umbrella company does not pay me for the weeks I have worked and the agency sues me for breach of contract. How likely is this to happen and has anyone been the subject of legal action? That could cause even greater problems....

Would the sick note go to agency, hiring manager or both? My concern is also that I may not get 28 days as that is a long time....

The suggestions and input from everyone on here have been really valuable. I have little in the way of a financial buffer for downtime between contracts but at the same time cannot continue at this client. I am being paid 1 month in arrears so, understandably, it's a big chunk to make sure I get paid...

My intention is to leave though, not stay. By just having a couple of weeks off, I would still then have to go back to work and work a month's notice? This is what I want to avoid

Calling in sick is another option but I think that would definitely cause more hassle, with manager expecting me to call/ make contact daily with an update on how I'm feeling. Again, asking the GP to sign me off makes sense but for what and for how long? Stress? Anxiety? Would they do it or is a sign...

Ok, but who would I send that sick note to? Not HR I'm assuming as I am contracting via the agency and quite honestly, depending on what is on the sick note, I would rather not have just anyone being able to see it.

Also, what would happen when it comes to getting a reference for another...

Do I need to provide a sick note if I am not an employee? Also, what is the length of time that a sick note would cover and for what kind of issue? Sorry if that seems like a ridiculous question but I'm not in the habit of getting doctor's sick notes and wouldn't want anything drastic being added...

Thanks for the responses so far. I'm still working within my hours but the culture and working environment of the project is too fast and chaotic compared to what I am used to, and the correct processes are being followed less and less as the weeks go by. I'm not answering emails at 10pm, just receiving...

For the first time in my contracting career I've taken a gig deemed as inside IR35 with a bank. Notice is 1 month and the gig is 6 which was non negotiable. I know that being inside IR35 covers that aspect of being a "disguised employee" , "under direction and control" etc....

I recently started contracting through an umbrella company and am in my second month of a 6 month contract. I currently rent and want to move and rent somewhere else but am worried that I may have a problem being accepted.

I have an excellent credit rating, good relationship with my current...
