New contract with bizarre provision for payment for no work
The reviewer didn't indicate whether it was marginal or fail, just that they weren't happy and wanted to negotiate it away. They did say it was down to MoO though.- fiddlesticks

New contract with bizarre provision for payment for no work
The client's come back today and said they've changed their mind and are happy to remove the section in bold. They've not said why they wouldn't remove it, or why they've changed their minds. So I'm good to go - thanks for your thoughts people.- fiddlesticks

New contract with bizarre provision for payment for no work
The reviewer's gone back to the client to ask (essentially) why the client has refused to remove the part in bold, above. The client hasn't responded today.- fiddlesticks

New contract with bizarre provision for payment for no work
This was my original view - that it's a consultancy-type contract, with a Statement of Work - but the contract reviewer doesn't agree. The SoW states the notice period is 2 weeks; the contract is for 6 months working on a given project, rather than being a bunch of deliverables. So maybe it...- fiddlesticks

New contract with bizarre provision for payment for no work
I've been contracting since 2007, and have recently got a new contract direct via some trusty folks I've worked with before. I've had the contract reviewed for IR35, and the reviewer has asked my new client to remove the part in bold below: This clearly fails the "mutuality of obligation"...- fiddlesticks

P11D vs Accountant
Surely everything they submit to HMRC, they do so as my agent, and ultimately I'm responsible anyway? I'd be happier if their "accounting software" could do this for me rather than me having to haul the numbers myself. How hard can it be? It surely doesn't require human intervention. Anyway...- fiddlesticks

P11D vs Accountant
So I've been berated my my accountant for not filling in their P11D questionnaire, and I'm thinking: all the info's in the spreadsheet I fill in for them, so why is this down to me? At a cost of > £100/month I'm wondering exactly what it is they're doing for me. Or am I missing something?- fiddlesticks

Holiday enforcement?
Thanks for the replies so far. It's not an FSA requirement (at least not yet), but it was triggered by the SocGen debacle and I don't think it's something they're taking lightly. IIRC they've said they'll check door entry to verify compliance. Slightly Big Brother, but that's the neature of the...- fiddlesticks

Holiday enforcement?
I've had an email from my manager saying that the compliance department requires me to take at least 1 holiday of 10 consecutive working days this year. This doesn't fit in with my holiday plans for this year (having just taken 7 days, and probably my longest holiday of the year). Am I obliged...- fiddlesticks
