Might be worth adapting some pcg standard contracts as a backup though.

Congratulations on your new gig at least someone has some positive news out there!!

Well, Abbey Tax came back with confirmation that the contract is IR35 compliant. There were a couple of things that I didn't like but can live with (No mention in the contract about working without supervision and I can't terminate the contract with them having a clause to terminate with 14 days notice). I can only hope things work out.

Schedule D. Well that means I can buy red pants to wear on the outside of my trousers in order to carry out my duties. Hmmm interesting.

Hope not. But with Windows 7 coming out this year, I would be surprised if RBS are seriously considering rolling out Vista.

Heh. Not sure if it was the same role as the one I got. I was interviewed for an IDS role. Don't know how I managed to get it though.

yep. 5 months on the bench, it's about time I got back into the swing of things.

3 months in Edinburgh.... can't complain, but can only hope the weather is ok.

Landed a role with RBS today. Am having the contract reviewed. Pays a pretty good rate. £2k a month more than my previous rate.

I may even take the contract even if it is not IR35 friendly, as I won't be worse off than my previous contract.
