24 month rule, 1 week overlap

[ladymuck]

Ermm, no. Your "permanent" workplace is determined from the point you know you go over 24 months, but it is therefore your permanent workplace from that point for the total duration of that contract period.

Whoops! Quite right. I shouldn't post before coffee.

It's from the time you know your contract will last more than 24 months, not the whole duration of the contract.

If you found out in month 23 that you were getting a six week extension then just those six weeks lose expenses.

Rulez is Rulez. 1 day, 10 days. Doesn't matter its over.

Is it really worth cutting your gig short by 10 days just because of expenses?

Get your accountant to run the numbers to see which option is more efficient.

No being able to claim expenses for the duration of the contract seems to be more expensive... Also these 10 days have any meaning on paper only, I could in theory ask to cut them and them I may get extended again and I will not claim the expenses past that point.

My current contract looks to be running past the 24 months by roughly 10 days. Should I contact the agency to change it or is there any leeway on this?
