It means if he wants to sod off for 6 weeks holiday he can.

In reality most people fail to take any holidays apart from about 2 weeks a year. A few then disappear for 4 to 6 months after 4+ years working for the company.

Basically this but there is also a mandatory minimum. 10 days in the US but I will be hired under a U.K. employment contact so minimum will likely be whatever the U.K. minimum is now (4-5 weeks I think).

unlimited paid time off policy? what does that even mean?
Sure probably the yearly figure sounds nice but what price do you put on your soul?

Contractors have accountants not souls!

I'll enjoy it along with the excellent 6 figure salary and unlimited paid time off policy all whilst continuing to work from my own home office.

OK enough gloating.

On your way out, please return you logins, radiator key, and your travelodge atlas.
Then take one each of the pamphlets:
"Take no prisoners - A deputy assistant supervisor explains how he climbed the greasy pole in just over 30 years"
"Yes boss! - How to embrace servitude with 3 easy rules"

good for you.
Many companies don't even hire ex-contractors as permie.

With the company I work for, all the directors and most of the staff are ex-contractors.

Splitter!

Oh, go on, have a banana then



And did you check with your accountant about the outside-inside risks?

Contract was outside IR35 and company has no UK presence not overly concerned. I’m certainly looking forward to never having to think about bloody IR35 again.

12 years of freelancing and contracting, 400+ invoices, just sent the last one. Officially becoming employed by current client from next week after they sorted out their international hiring issues (they are using a UK-based employer of record). A list of paperwork and tasks left relating to closing the company down but that's it for now!

It feels a bit weird to be honest.
