I've noticed the admin side getting bad. Every month they always lose my first invoice and I have to chase things up and I'm now on day 6 of a contract extension but despite chasing the new contract every week since mid Nov it has still not arrived.
My clients a large company so I dont have risk of non-payment but it's still frustrating.

Spring
They have taken on loads of low margin volume business and it has hit bottom line big time. Admin has gone really bad... they are big enough to ride it out I think but they have got some problems to resolve.

Look you are wasting your time getting accountants to review your contract. Even if one did say you were caught its good to see you are moving to someone else.

Spring
From memory the Spring contract was ok BUT they do have some very client specific stuff at times so you may have to go through the loop of asking for some changes and depending on client they may or may not do it. There again, they are in such bother that they will take the business I suspect and keep you happy!

Don't get your accountant to review it. He/she probably doesn't have the specialist expertise. Get somebody like Qdos or Accountax to have a look at it.

IR35 & a Spring contract
Anyone had a standard issued Spring contract that has failed an IR35 contract review? I beleive my working conditions and the contract fall outside of IR35 but as I'm changing accountants this month I am considering a formal review with them but not sure if it's worth spending the dosh. My original composite setup deemed me outside but provided no written reasons.
So has anyone with a Spring contract had a failed review and had to get it changed? Were Spring willing to change it or did you have to battle?Tags: None
