    News feeds

    I used to read a number of Project Management and Contractor blogs, but I thought it would be a good idea to get an RSS feed for a number of sites and highlight new blog articles on a daily basis.

    Default AWR

    AWR AWR You misunderstand. I am not looking for a payrise, but the day rate will be reduced by 10% if I do choose to opt-out of AWR. My contract is to my company and not me as an individual and it has a named representative as a starting point (quote: "the initial person engaged by the...

    Default AWR

    I have just been told that if I opt out of AWR in my current contract, my payrise from earlier this year will be revoked (about 10%). As far as I am concerned, my contract is business to business. I run a company which specialises in web development, Lotus Notes, Project management and...

    Pay another company's debt?

    I had a run of bad luck a couple of years ago and ran up about £10k Corporation Tax debt in a company. All other bills were paid, so there is no credit card, no loan, no outstanding PAYE/NIC or VAT. The only debt is the CT. I stopped using the first company and started to use a new company...

    Which Tablet

    ASUS Transformer Prime ASUS Transformer Prime In my opinion, get the Transformer Prime. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and it just seems to get better every day I am using it. I have ample storage with 32GB on board, but then there is the additional micro-SD, standard SD and...

    How Much Experience is Required

    It is the person, not the time It is the person, not the time I left Uni and was contracting within 18 months, so experience is not really a factor. You must have the right amount of experience for the particular role you are applying for. Each role is different. I was only a programmer...

    Halifax Mortgages

    Contract only Contract only It seems I was lucky... My independant FA just took a copy of my contract, took the day rate and was able to secure a good rate of mortgage (over 88% of the value) in about 3 minutes. I had about 4 months to run on the contract, but did not need to provide a CV...

    VAT on iPads?

    Tablet Tablet Get the ASUS Transformer Prime. Amazing tool for your business. Even comes with a keyboard for use in meetings. Amazing bit of kit. I got mine from PC World and it was delivered the next day. A bit pricey, but... "the company paid".
