For what it's worth, I insist on a T&C clause that does include substitution to avoid IR35 but the clause excludes mutually agreed leave or if I'm off sick for 5 consecutive days. In reality, I never take leave during a gig, unlees it's 6 months or more duration and I'm happy to cough and splutter on site. Getting hit by a low-flying aircraft might alter your work plans though.
Some pimps don't believe we have the right to call our own shots so I always tell 'em for **** off, but some will accomodate you if they're prepared to accept a level playing field. Those that do are usually better at acknowledging your interests as well as their own. The rest are only interested in shafting you.
