Oh and your accountant, solicitor or whatever advisor doesn't have to be local.
They just need to be able to use the telephone and respond to emails promptly. Believe it or not some local bods are incapable of doing that there as someone further from you has learnt those skills.
I often hear people in those professions talking to clients when they are walking down the street or waiting for a train.Last edited by SueEllen; 5 March 2012, 20:02.

You have clarrified with them this is a full time position? It isn't adhoc work or anything like that. I know it is an assumption it is Mon-Fri but this is normally a pretty sound one in a full time contract.
If they say full time, 9-5 I would be happy.
You had the contract reviewed for IR35 yet?

Guides are to the right but contractors don't get holiday and sickness pay.
My concern was over the lack of number of days specified, but I acknowledge your point about the mutuality of obligation.
Thanks!

Guides are to the right but contractors don't get holiday and sickness pay.
You could go for 'Professional working day' which would assume roughly 9 to 5 Mon - Fri.
At the end of the day you will have a Mutuality Of Obligation clause in the contract which states the client doesn't have to give you work (and therefore don't have to pay you) and you don't have to accept it. So even if you had 9-5 Mon - Fri in your contract, they can say tell you there is no work anytime they want. You can have a contract with a years notice, if there is no work they are not obliged to pay you.
I think you had better read up on the guides before jumping in to contracts you don't understand.

Contract should detail number of days?
Hey all,
I'm a newbie when it comes to contracting and was hoping someone could lend some advice on this.
I've been offered a software services consultancy contract, 1 year in length, with a specified day rate and number of hours per day. It doesn't however specify a number of days per month/week. Is this standard practice, or should a contract specify a number of days?
My fear is that they could effectively give me 0 days per month with no notice period (as this would be within the contract). If a number of days are specified, how can time off be negotiated without breaching the contract?
The company, whom I'm dealing with directly, say that the assumption is that it will be full months (excluding holiday and sickness pay).
Thanks for the advice, all!
