    Should I get offer in writing, if so from whom?

    I really wanted to go with Clarity but they could pay direct into my SIPP. Unfortunately this was a deal breaker for me. Shame as I had seen your recommendation and when I spoke with Lucy she was really knowledgeable and the service sounded top notch. Went for Orange Genie in the end.

    Should I get offer in writing, if so from whom?

    Have signed up with the Umbrella and things seem to be moving nicely. Should get contract to view early next week.

    Should I get offer in writing, if so from whom?

    Yes this makes sense. It's guess it's analgous to an IR35 gig where contract and negotiations are direct with the recruitment agent.

    Should I get offer in writing, if so from whom?

    I was offered a job directly from the project manager at a large end client. This happened without any involvement from HR etc. The end client use an external HR Agency to do all their hiring. The role must be fulfilled using an Umbrella company. As it stands, I haven't actually received a...

    Lorien trying to change terms of engagement at renewal

    Lorien finally relented and agreed to the following with QDOS: The Supplier and Client are to agree upon the absence from site/absence of Services in advance and in a manner that does not affect the delivery of the Services to the Client, i.e. any key milestones within the delivery of the...

    Lorien trying to change terms of engagement at renewal

    Yes, QDOS did offer alternative wording and came back with the following: for the contract to be a pass as a minimum 3.18 needs to be removed or amended to read: “Endeavour to give reasonable notice to the Company and the Client of any period during which the Supplier / Contractor will not be...

    Lorien trying to change terms of engagement at renewal

    Yes that is what I've done now. Out of interest the main sticking point is the 3.1 The Supplier shall in respect of the Agreement and Assignment(s): 3.1.8 obtain prior approval from and give reasonable notice to the Company and the Client of any period during which the Supplier / Contractor...

    Lorien trying to change terms of engagement at renewal

    I was due for renewal and 2 days for the renewal date Lorien told me they wanted me to sign a different set of terms and conditions (They said that they changed their term in May when they moved to a new portal system). I said OK, I'll get them reviewed. QDOS came back with a FAIL and over half...

    Contract Terms

    They were adamant it was impossible for them to generate an actual contract. Now or later. Call me old fashioned but I kinda don't feel comfortable not have a piece of paper signed by them. In the end they copied and pasted the various parts of the contract and emailed it to me in separate...

    Contract Terms

    I've just tried that but they said it was "impossible" to provide me with a copy. All they were prepared to do was copy and paste from the portal into a Word doc for me. :tired

    Thanks, makes sense.

    Contract Terms

    Nope, unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be an option. I can't see how I would even be able to keep a document on file one I click the accept button! It's just extra hassle for me. I have always simply sent my clients an invoice at the end of each month. I figured (maybe wrongly) that it was...

    Contract Terms

    Thanks for your input NLUK. No, they simply said, "Copy and paste the text and use that". Well, it's a hassle on my part because I have to create invoices in two places. I guess I can do that on their time! They say it's not self-billing. OK, fair point

    Contract Terms

    I've been asked to sign a contract and had a couple of questions regarding the terms. Am I being reasonable or should be aware of any red flags. Portal Contract The agency (Lorien) refuse to email me a contract. They said I have to view it (in separate sections) on their online portal. Signing...
