As no HR department would risk employing him on a permanent basis, yes....

That's nice. Just make sure you put it through QDOS and get a pass for contract and working practices. That would make me feel better.

I agree these are all sham clauses but my accountant always says "But the point is an employee contract would never ever have those words in - so you are not an employee".

Well, it makes me feel better...

You know many contracts are worded just to be IR35 friendly so I wouldn't get over excited when another sham clause appears that looks good.

What you should be is how often. Someone might have but in a vast majority they won't have. You know many contracts are worded just to be IR35 friendly so I wouldn't get over excited when another sham clause appears that looks good.

Allegis/Tek: Interesting Contract Term
Just got an extension in the form of a new Schedule: Project Details.

The wording includes

The Company shall provide the following, non-exclusive resources in support of the Specified Services:

One or more Consultants will lead the project on behalf of the Company.

One or more Personal Computer systems ...
etc

I must ask my agent whether anyone has ever brought along other consultants under such a contract
