Taking assets from a company in administration - advice needed please!
Exactly. I emailed them today to say they are welcome to arrange secure collection from my premises. If I post it, then the responsibility with it lies until they accept and sign for it. If they arrange the courier, then it's not my problem from the minute it leaves my door... As it happens...- chris79

Waiting until the 28th day of the month to decide the company cannot function and stringing everyone along in my book is theft.. they stole my life for those 28 days - I don't get up every day and spend money getting there to sit at a desk for 8 hours for the fun of it. The law may not class it...- chris79

I disagree, they owed me almost a months worth of wages before they called in the Administrators - the risks I take in a perm job are different to those I take under a Ltd Co, I did have a signed contract of employment.. and I do know the difference I've spent half my career on both sides of the...- chris79

Yep I agree.. I'll hand it back in.. pity it didn't belong to the company in administration. Wouldn't do my SC clearance any good either if it did come to anything.- chris79

In summary; Was employed (perm) with a company which went into administration. On the day of them entering administration I was told I was being made redundant with immediate effect and to leave straight away.. also that the company could not pay me almost a months wages owed for that month...- chris79

Hows it going?
Oh yeah, when I left there was a long-running thread by RichardCranium (I think).. how did things go for him, did he get a job in the end?.. -
Hows it going?
Not been on here for a while since going back to the land of perm employment nearly a year ago... I left when the market seemed pretty tight, low rates, lots of fruitless agency calls, etc.. How are people finding things these days, has the public sector cuts dragged things down further?.. my... -

Working Tax Credits - are you eligible as a contractor?
Tax credits are based on your annual household income.. so if your limited company turns over £150k a year, and you happen to take £12k a year salary (for arguments sake), the Government works it out based on the 12k... in which case you would qualify for tax credits and help towards childcare...- chris79

Maternity Pay/ Allowance - am I entitled to this as a contractor?
Maternity pay isn't exclusive to being an employee of someone else's company, it also applies to your own? Why would she want to miss out on something she's entitled to?- chris79

Maternity Pay/ Allowance - am I entitled to this as a contractor?
Hi, Firstly congratulations on your forthcoming baby. From what I know you are eligible as long as you've worked for a set period of time on your company payroll (paying tax/NICs).. I think it's 26 weeks.. there's some criteria which has to be met, the fact you are under your own company...- chris79

ITIL or Prince 2?
Well it's all very well asking which is best etc, but since I don't know your line of work it's hard to say. PRINCE2 seems to be the tickbox for any PM type work.. it's useful even if you're just working on, or part of a project as it will familiarize you with project terms, techniques, etc in... -
Looking to go Contracting
1. No, contracting is available to anyone, although at a junior level it may be more referred to as 'temping'.. (i.e. filling a space rather than seeking in specialist skills). 2. Yep, get your notice in ASAP, the faster you do this, the faster you can be a contractor. 3. No, you need to quit...
