    Enforced Xmas not working - penny pinching clients

    You are of course correct in the broad sense. Sometimes it doesn't lead to a great employee/employer relationship though. My point really was the MoO clause in a good contract and IR35. Usually says "the client isn't obliged to offer and the supplier isn't obliged to accept work" or some such...

    Enforced Xmas not working - penny pinching clients

    On the other hand, it's a great pointer to being outside IR35, particularly if the place doesn't close down completely over Christmas (as an employer couldn't force an employee to take holiday in those circumstances). This is the lack of MoO that we're surely all striving for. Besides, it's...

    Best route re: IR35?

    XPS v PDF

    Would you be prepared to say who has informed you of this please? All information that i've had on this to date has been that purely digital isn't acceptable. (After all, you may digitally alter the information on a receipt.....never mind that a paper receipt often fades over time.....*sigh*)...

    PM contracts

    I'm a BA rather than a PM, however the London market seems at little flat to me at present. Things are also seem to be taking ages to turn around than usual, i.e. lead time for CV review, interviews, feedback etc.
