Getting past time off
After my wife gave birth to our son, we decided to take some time off work as we had both been contracting non-stop for ages.

Migrant Cap - Intra- Company Transfers salary set at £40,000
If this works.... If this works.... it's going to be very quiet at Sunbury-on-Thames and Martlesham to name but two places. Mind you, half of the jobs have been offshored already. Another day, another time to find a way around the rules. -

Stakeholder pension contributions
Hmm, EPP, etc. Hmm, EPP, etc. As someone who has an EPP (but have not paid into it since switching from a Ltd. company to an Umbrella), can anyone here advise what options there are?

I've recently completed a 10 month contract with an oil giant, and have applied for a number of suitable positions since.
