Previously on "Anyone had a Harvey Nash contract IR35 reviewed lately?"
I'm via Harvey Nash right now, and had no issues (QDOS) with the contract way back when I started this gig. Have renewed a few times, and have found them to be pretty on the ball in terms of getting documentation out in a timely manner etc.
Back when I first started this gig, I too had a few issues on some of the 'commercial' terms, but managed to get changes I wanted implemented without too much difficulty IIRC.
On the whole, good bunch IMHO
That's a shame. I hate having to call the person I met at the interview to apologise for pulling out of a contract due to an issue with the agency...
They have been a nightmare to deal with as well, I've had to speak to both the Director of Contracts dept and the COO and both still insisted I should sign as it'd protect me from HMRC
Did you manage to speak to them? What was the response?
I had a contract through them last year and it passed Qdos' assesment without a fuss.
I may have another one lined up from them, so am curious if they have changed something.
Either ways, as soon as I mentioned to the agent that I will get the contract reviewed - he sounded unhappy and mentioned that their contracts cannot be changed under any circumstances.

They introduced a new declaration since April which limits substitution and would more than likely put you in the firing line if you were ever investigated by HMRC. They're trying to pass it off as changes due to the new intermediaries reporting legislation which I've already disproved, I would tread very carefully.
The initial contract I had with them passed a QDOS review.

Never met an agent from a large recruitment firm who wouldn't change contracts especially if you can speak to the client.....
I wish I could say the say the same for Opus, QDOS gave it a fail seems since the new reporting legislation came in they've misinterpreted it and added lots to the contract. I'd better give Harvey Nash a call and see if they have anything going

Back in 2012. Had it reviewed by Bauer & Cottrell and there were a few things they wanted changing for IR35 if memory serves me right. There were also a few commercial clauses I didn't like which I added to the list of changes. Harvey Nash legal team deal with all changes - slow but we got to an agreed position in the end.
