Being asked to do work outside of scope of original contract
Why are we skirting round the issue here?! I wasn't hired as a technical author. What makes you think I was? As I said earlier, I was hired to provide "CBT Expertise". Specifically, to provide an Authorware programming capability. Authorware is a tool used to develop interactive multimedia...- tommyrot

Being asked to do work outside of scope of original contract
*If* you'd paid for classroom-based training, I'd agree with you. However, what the client has actually paid for in this instance is e-Learning, or Computer-based Training. The idea is that students will -- in their own time -- access multimedia training materials via the Internet and learn...- tommyrot

Being asked to do work outside of scope of original contract
So if I was contracted to provide, say, Java programming expertise, and then got switched to project management, you're saying that's okay because it's still provided "expertise"? Even if I've not done project management before, and have had no training in it, and such a role was never...- tommyrot

*Sounds like*, maybe -- but in practice, they require very different skillsets.- tommyrot

Being asked to do work outside of scope of original contract
The "service" I was contracted to provide is, in the contract, "CBT [Computer-based Training] Expertise". CBT is otherwise known as e-Learning these days. What I'm now being asked to do is write student workbooks for instructor-delivered classroom training.- tommyrot

Being asked to do work outside of scope of original contract
I have talked to the agency, of course, but they're not interested -- they're only interested in the cash they're extracting out of the situation. Even if I resign, there's a month's notice to have to work out. (But on the other hand, I would apparently spend that month doing work I'm not...- tommyrot

Being asked to do work outside of scope of original contract
Recently I've been asked to do work which in my view is outside the scope of my original contract -- ie, it doesn't come under the definition of the 'service' that I was asked to provide (though is vaguely related). I have a limited competency is this new work, but am by no means expert, and...- tommyrot

working in Holland: VAT situation?
Alan, Thank you for your very quick response. The answers you give on both counts are kind of what I was expecting to hear. The only fly in the ointment is that the agency in question is getting a bit shirty over the notion of me applying the 17.5% rate, I guess because they zero-rate their...- tommyrot

working in Holland: VAT situation?
I'm a UK-based contractor with a VAT-registered limited company currently working on-site in The Netherlands for a few months. The work is at a NL-based company but arranged through a UK-based agency. Hence, I will invoice the agency for payment. If I were invoicing a company in NL (or anywhere...- tommyrot
