Hays not changing contract
Morning All, I am in discussions with Hays at the moment regarding a contract and put the contract though QDos. The contract failed pretty badly (Right to Substitute, permission for time off etc. etc.). I have had the usual response back saying 'we have 1000s of contractors and not one person...- slice16

Shocks in the 2016/17 PAYE codes
This now scares me... as I have been wondering how my tax bill next year is going to screw me over. Basically, the last two years I have been pretty giddy with the dividends I have taken out (buying a house and planning a wedding)... so I have done Payment on Account this year (totalling around...- slice16

Asked to supply an updated CV to client
I have recently had a situation like this, where it was in my contract saying 'provide an up to date CV for any consultant providing services'... this failed with QDOS.

NDA and IR35
Hi All, Thanks for all the responses. I was thinking exactly the same thing. QDOS have come back with a fail on a number of points aswell... so lets see whether they are willing to change things. It is a very interesting project... but really isn't worth getting treated like HMRCs cell mate!- slice16

NDA and IR35
Morning All, I have a strange question regarding IR35. I am passing it over to QDOS, but as there is a 5 day turnaround, I wondered if anyone on here knows the answer.

Contracting in Italy
Thanks Dave, I have dropped an email over to my accountant for advice aswell. Thanks BlasterBlates. That makes sense, but my confusion is who do I declare as my end client? My contract would be with a large IT Consultancy that is based in the UK. They would be taking me the services of my LTD...- slice16

Contracting in Italy
Morning All, I have been giving some serious consideration into going over to Europe to contract for a while. Mostly because I'm sick of the weather in the UK, and would just like another challenge. An opportunity has arisen to work in the North of Italy, which I like the sound off. My only...- slice16

Getting a contract in the banking world
450 to 500 a day is not a bad day rate, from what I have seen recently, all the FS roles are less than that! I would personally recommend getting through the door by going to other FSCS regulated industries. My way in was via an Insurance Company as an Architect. You still need to know all the...- slice16

FreeAgent
I've been using FreeAgent for around 2 years now and LOVE IT. I would struggle to move away from it now. I have been on the lookout for a new accountant, and a major decision point for me was whether they would allow me to use Freeagent instead of their own. My favourite parts are: - Invoicing...- slice16

SQL Server/BI Contractor - where to next?
Completly agree... air some caution as if you don't deliver it looks bad and you will be out of work. I have oversold myself in interviews in the past, and luckily I was able to deliver.- slice16

SQL Server/BI Contractor - where to next?
I've found the move fairly easy, mostly because I specialise in Infrastructure and spent many years in the Channel as a PS Consultant, so regularly worked on many projects between many clients. I would personally recommend you try something like: 1) Look into Qualifications such as the BCS In...- slice16
