I love the silliness of suggesting you bring to an IR35 investigation a letter from the man that opens the car-park gate.

I agree with most on this thread. Irrelevant where you park. totally.
Makes sense that a client would rather long term contractors park in the main car park surely? Rather than hog the visitors car park for short term visitors.
I suspect kicking off about would just piss client off. At the end of the day, I'll park wherever they let me.
Can't imagine the guy who maybe comes to fix the central heating would kick off if they made him park in the main car park would he?

Have a look at my other questions, a lot of them are quite basic. Nothing to do with trolling - that should be obvious from looking at any of my posts.
I am quite new to this and have no fear about asking basic question on here as there is no one local I can ask.
However, I think you simply started by being aggresive and rude and I have been able to show that you were 'in the wrong' when doing this so you are resorting to calling me a troll.

It is obvious to me that when using a 'true' guard one needs to twist one's wrist towards the opponent - is that obvious to everyone else?
Perhaps your first reply could have been:
"Do not worry about parking arrangements or the vistitor's book, no one else does. I haven't seen any case where the parking habits of a contractor have been discussed. ."
This would have saved you effort in your aggressive replies and neg repping - true?

The last article was totally tongue in cheek... I mean, don't organise the works xmas do????
Act like a business and your parking habits won't matter.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostLikewise I've worked on more than one project where I worked 80-90% of the time at home. In one case the client stated I had to park in the visitors car park when I spend 5% of my time in their office outside London there as another client stated I had to park in the staff car park.
In both those two cases I had to sign in the visitors book.

Originally posted by MyUserName View PostThis carries the assumption that being a contractor is not a reason to park in the vistor's car park like any other contractor would have to.
Depending on the client and what work the workmen have come into do you can find them anywhere - from the staff car park, the delivery area to just randomly on-site. For example you and I wouldn't be allowed to use the emergency exits there as a workmen would particularly if that was the only way they could get some ventilation so comparing them to contractors who work regularly on-site isn't valid.

This was so they knew I was on-site because I didn't have a security pass for the sites as I wasn't there regularly enough.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostIf you start to wind up security and other staff by doing things like using the visitors car park to park when there is no reason you can't park in the company's main car park which their staff use, then the next contractors who end up on site will have to park in the street or pay to park.
Originally posted by SueEllenProbably like me they found CUK and realised it had a great search facility. So whatever question you thought of you could search and there was an answer.
