Keep the paper trail with the contract to allay any fears of MOO.
All of his little 'paper trail' will be filed under BIN.

Originally posted by Chunk View PostBut, from the little knowledge I have at least the OP had his contract checked with qdos showing due diligence.
Originally posted by zoco View PostI have a clause in my contract schedule stating that I have been engaged to work in the development of project x. Any work outside of the scope of this scope may be undertaken with prior agreement of the supplier.Originally posted by zoco View PostThere was no such clause in there originally I.e. no project scope defined. It passed their review.
These words I have had added on the back of some previous advice I was given from a legal expert a while back. Qdos haven't seen this clause.Originally posted by zoco View PostThe first review was of the basic draft contract and it passed. Then they had a look at the full version with client specific stuff, schedule etc. It also passed though no mention of project in the schedule.
However, they have now decided that they want to include a new clause in the contract, having started work and found the reality (which includes a high degree of D&C if you read the other threads started about the contract by the poster) and want to try to fudge the issue by putting something new into the contract. They are trying to fall back on the "I didn't sign it, so it doesn't count" defence. This is not showing diligence, it is showing ignorance.
The chances of getting a clause included now to fudge the situation are negligible - what does the agent get apart from a headache? It's hard enough getting clauses changed by most agencies before you've signed (and therefore have some leverage), but I can't see it happening after the contract has been accepted and two weeks of work has been completed - it's not even as if it's the start of the project, it's been two weeks.

Originally posted by Chunk View PostI think itd crazy to suggest he packs in his contract.
1) Fudge it and hope for the best
2) Ignore the issue and hope that HMRC don't investigate
3) Declare themselves inside IR35 and pay the right level of tax and NI
4) Find a non-IR35 caught contract
Fudging it / ignoring it and hoping are really not very sensible ideas. However, you may think that they are, and either of the others are crazy ideas. That's the good thing about fora - you are always entitled to your opinion (no matter how wrong you may be)

He might have shown a little bit of diligence. Shame he didn't bother signing it before he started.

Nope I don't think there is any exaggeration here.Originally posted by Project Monkey View PostClassic!

Originally posted by Project Monkey View PostIf the problem really is a serious as you suggest, then yes (although with legal team review). Otherwise, your assessment of the situation is grossly exaggerated.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostHis client/agent is going to allow him to put clauses in his contract without their legal team reviewing after he started? Good luck with that one.

Originally posted by zoco View PostWhy am I screwed without a signed contract - can't I just backdate the signature?
For future reference, if you are presented with a contract and you start work then you have accepted the contract. It's helpful and indeed good business practice to have it signed but it's certainly not essential.
Originally posted by zoco View PostI do have PCG+ though. Seriously, should I just quit and get another role?
