The reason I'm a bit nervous about this is that I had a similar issue with a client back when IR35 first came in, and the HR person there blacklisted me as a trouble-maker (with quotes like "I'm not going to assist contractors in evading tax" being thrown around) - I haven't been able to get even an interview there since (about 10 applications), despite being perfectly well qualified to do all of the roles that I have applied for.

Originally posted by hattraThe trouble will be getting them to put that all in writing, as they're already p1ssed off with me for not complying immediately.
They have no right to get pissed off, just act helpful, responsible and professional and they'll back off.

Originally posted by hattraThey've reponded to my initial email with
"If you like you can cross out the Application for Employment bit out and you dont need to put your NI Number on it.
But we need this information for many reasons, one being Health and Safety.
We will not chase any references as this should have been done already.
This document is purely for our records & reference in case of emergency and will be kept in a safe place under Data Protection Rule."
Verbally, they've also said that they need to verify my ID, (copy of passport & 5 years of employment history) because there's a bonded warehouse on site & they deal with air transport, and they need a copy of my driving license if I want to park on site, for their insurance company.

Drop them a polite email thanking them for their help etc. and list everything you agreed and ask them to send for you records a brief reply confirming your email.

Originally posted by hattraI have just started a new contract, and the client's HR department has asked me to fill out a form headed "Application for Employment", asking me to provide various personal information, along with NI number, previous names & addresses, etc, as well as my passport so that they can keep a copy for their records.
I am concerned that this would be an indicator that I am caught by IR35, and I am not required by my contract to provide it (the contract is actually quite good from the IR35 perspective).
What am I legally required to provide to the client, and what can I provide, over and above the legal minimum, without getting into difficulties with IR35?
