    Contracts in The Netherlands

    Hi All, I know this is a little subjective, BUT, I am just trying to gauge if 750 Euros/day is reasonable. As I understand, I would be expected to work under umbrella company to comply with local laws. M

    Anyone worked in Sky Osterley Office..? Parking situation..?

    Are they flexible with working from home? I have been approached, the train commute does not look that bad to Syon Lane. But if after onboarding, working from home is available that would be awesome.

    Finding Contract jobs in Germany

    Perm role is a big commitment, I would prefer contract engagement. But in the long term, it will be a case of taking perm job, move and settle and then switch to contracting.

    Staying in the same public sector contract after April 2017

    Random questions: Are 'Housing Association' subject to FoI Act? And will the new IR35 PS changes apply to them?

    Staying in the same public sector contract after April 2017

    @northernladuk, you are right, the agency does not have a clue and has been avoiding me for the past couple weeks to start conversation regarding this. Which is why I started talking to the client directly and be in control of my own situation. @RonBW, the new contract will reflect the...

    Staying in the same public sector contract after April 2017
