Surely B2B relationships are free from these pesky rules about 'rights'?Originally posted by NickFitz View PostSo if MyCoLtd requires me to travel to and from a client's premises for the purpose of providing services, surely expenses incurred by such travel ought to be reimbursed, as that's working time? This could presumably have implications for little Georgy Osborne's ideas about travel expenses, if some lawyer gets their grubby mitts on it

HMRC run the government and make laws to suit themselves. Like retrospective legislation.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI'm sure a suitably skilled lawyer can twist things to fit

Hopefully this directive will keep foreigners out of London.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostI've always included travel time when calculating my true hourly rate.
So if the London contract commute adds 4 hours to the day on average, calculate the hourly rate based on 11 or 12 hours, not 7 or 8 spent at your desk.
Commuting sucks. The Hooman Rights court should ban it as inhuman.
Damned Swindon immigrants coming here and taking our jobs.
