    Change Brolly Mid Contract - Woes

    I've changed brolly mid-contract before. I gave one month's notice to the old brolly (they are your employer; you'll probably have to do this), joined the new one, and instructed the agent to re-assign the contract to the new brolly, starting on the first working day after leaving the old brolly.

    Wrong rate at contract renewal

    If the agency were losing money, surely they wouldn't have waited until renewal to do something about it? ;)

    Does a gap of 3 months between contracts reset the 24 month rule?

    Thank you for all the replies. I didn't consider the possibility that 'time' at a temporary work location could be interpreted as 'time elapsed' (12+3+10=25 months) rather than 'time worked' (12+10=22 months) . Suppose you did a 6 month contract once a year (January to June) at a particular...

    Does a gap of 3 months between contracts reset the 24 month rule?

    Just wondered if anyone had been in a situation similar to this: I worked for a client at their offices for 12 months, and was not renewed. 3 months later, they re-engaged me, this time for 10 months. If I were to be renewed again (for, say, 6 months), would that mean my place of work was no...

    Confused about contract !

    To answer your question directly - you are inside IR35 for all practical purposes.

    Been asked for a job that agent already sent me for

    Send an e-mail to the first agency withdrawing your permission for them to represent you. Then go with the second agency. :)

    Differences Between Umbrella Companies

    I've used Orange Genie, Giant and Parasol: Orange Genie: OK at first; left (in 2005) because I kept having to chase things up. Giant: OK; found the web interface a bit inadequate for complex expenses (one-way journeys, hotels, etc.). [mid-2007; it may have changed since then.] Parasol: OK...

    Offered a contract but need advice on rate differences....

    That probably means the agency was a preferred supplier on a fixed margin. :happy

    Personal info on CV's

    My advice is don't put any phone numbers on a 'public' CV.

    Unsure what to do....

    :eek: Hope the pay is good...:)

    Unsure what to do....

    I like the suggestion in message #6. It might be a bit late now, but in future, I would just say (early on in the contract) that I would be 'unavailable' on certain specified dates. :cool:

    Been approached by two agencies for the same role...

    If you go with agency 2, you need to e-mail agency 1 to withdraw your permission for them to represent you for that contract.

    Business Cards

    The P&P is more than you think. ;) Also, you have to pay extra to remove the "Free Business Cards" advert from the reverse.

    For those who have left Giant..

    I would wait until you've printed off your last pay and dividend advice slips before requesting your P45, lest you be locked out. Or am I being too cautious? I suppose it's a little awkward to ask them. :rolleyes:

    Checklist for IR35 exemption working conditions

    Long time lurker, first time poster... :) Filling in holiday forms and other paperwork. - This sort of thing was discussed on another board recently. If there's something you can't reasonably refuse to sign, the advice was to sign "<your name> for and on behalf of <your company> limited"...
