Not worth worrying about.

I did 1 day's consultancy for a mate last year. Agreed a rate by email and then I invoiced and he paid.

Thanks for your replies.

I have a signed off quote so getting paid should be an issue. I was more concerned from an IR35 perspective.

I'll have a look at the PCG website now.

I don't think IR35 is really the issue here, as making sure you actually get paid since you're working on trust. I'd be tempted to get a quick template one sorted as already suggested... or at least a formal email/signed letter.

Can't you just do him a quote like a plumber or something would? That would be your contract of work. IR35 is about looking like a hidden permie which as d000hg says isn't an issue for 3 weeks. At least with a formal quotation you have scope and acceptance?

Or a purchase order

Hi all,

I've just secured 3 weeks work from a mate who is an IT manager at a law firm. He hasn't actually written up a contract. Is this a problem with it only being 3 weeks? Will this land me in bother if I ever get investigated by IR35? If yes to either does anyone know where I can get a simple one drawn up on the cheap?

Thanks in advance,
Wilky.

PCG website has contract templates I believe.

Bearing in mind it is a law firm and he has access to the IT system can't he <cough> source one for you that you can change
