I still can't quite get my head around how the mechanics of this will work.....and how it will all be clear for April -
Originally posted by youngguy View PostI still can't quite get my head around how the mechanics of this will work.....and how it will all be clear for AprilRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Thanks.Comment

Ie long story short it comes down to supply and demand. If you're a highly skilled contractor with few peers, and there's lots of demand for your work, the agencies/clients will want to secure you, potentially by helping ensure the contract is outside IR35. If on the other hand you're easily replaceable and there's more contractors of your skillset than gigs, yeah, could put you in a weak position.Comment
