    Mini Budget aka Fiscal Statement

    :eek: I'll need to see the devil(s) in the detail first, and see some evidence of change on job boards, client behaviour, etc., but I might just come out of retirement! I look forward to the considered views of the likes of QDOS, et al on this news.

    Ad-hoc consultancy work

    Yes, I know what you mean re: ZHC, but they have said if I'm not available owing to other work, they'd accept that. Re; the rate, yes it is 'inside' but I'll be ending up with £9k+/month being paid to me after all necessary stoppages, so I would class that as a reasonably high rate, & equivalent...

    Ad-hoc consultancy work

    Managed to get just short of the 35% uplift (33.333%), so reasonably happy with that.

    Ad-hoc consultancy work

    Thanks for the input, appreciated, but no, I'm not doing any other work currently. And, I do 'get' the tax efficient dumping into a pension btw, & if this was going to be a longer term work period, then I may have considered this (& discussed it with the consultancy)...but it isn't, it's...

    Ad-hoc consultancy work

    OK had a chat last week, they want me initially for c.60 days on a T&M basis. They're happy for me to operate 100% remotely, which is great, and also, if they require me further down the line but I'm engaged elsewhere, they're accepting of that possibility. Gives me scope to explore other stuff...

    Ad-hoc consultancy work

    Interesting, thanks NAT. I was thinking along similar lines earlier as to how any offering might develop, & thought that it might well be (for want of a better phrase) a sort of open-term contract, which would still allow for the ad-hoc nature of the work, but avoid the 'nause' of creating...

    Ad-hoc consultancy work

    Thanks all for these points/thoughts; really helpful, & exactly the reason I posted on here. Re; "ad-hoc", it definitely won't be a day here, a day there, that would not be possible with the work I do (I'm not a tech, I'm more on the business improvement side). Having worked for them before, I...

    Ad-hoc consultancy work

    Been approached about working on an ad-hoc basis, as opposed to a fixed term (3/6/12 month) contract, by a consultancy I did some work for previously. This is direct with consultancy, so no agencies involved. The ad-hoc stuff would be specifically for one of their pub sec clients, who have...

    99% fully remote roles

    Have seen a couple of roles advertised recently by 'Haze'...as 'remote rate', which of course was lower than you might expect for those particular roles. Always looking for an angle of sorts these agents. :rolleyes:

    Order at table send to kitchen app

    In the absence of an alternative app, couldn't they use something like Trello creating a workspace & using kanban? Orders received, orders in progress, orders completed, bill paid, kinda thing.

    I'm struggling with how that could actually work?

    Terminology....

    An electronic shared filing cabinet where multiple, approved people only, have keys to access, retrieve, or store, information/data/filing cabinet contents?? Just trying to keep it as simple as possible.

    Trying to give client's laptop back - being ignored

    If you're that concerned just send it back via your local post office recorded/signed for & claim the postage costs against your Ltd Co. expenses. If you're not overly concerned & wish to drag this out, then just put it somewhere at your home where it won't get damaged & wait for them to contact...
