I supply my own equipment, keyboard, monitor, laptop, dock etc and just plug in to the clients network (they insist on AV and personal FW but that goes without sating... or at least it should ). That and being direct with MOO and subsititution clause helps me sleep at night
Oh and all the booze and drugs helps too.

I used to work on my home PC and remote on to the work laptop. Much easier to switch between the two and you can use your own monitor,keyboard etc.

I just e-mailed stuff to and from work. If a virus got past thier security filter on the e-mail by disclaimer of "no liability for virus etc in this e-mail etc" should hopefully cover me.

Originally posted by Old GregI use the client's laptop from my home office as that is the only way I can access shared folders and emails, and they have commercial reasons for wanting documentation kept on their secured equipment etc. I've been advised it has no bearing on IR35.
I don't see it affects IR35 as long as there's a justification (i.e. security).

Originally posted by Old GregIf you're worried about IR34, drop them an email asking whether they need you to use their laptop for reasons of security, then keep that email as evidence, but I wouldn't worry, personally (and I've been doing this for 4 whole months now so I must be right).
they have said i can use my own laptop, however it is to undergo vigoros testing and security.
i also have to sign financial liability forms if any viruses, or impact to the company is passed on from my own laptop.
i best start removing all my porn from it ASAP eh?

How will you connect to their network?
If the company has a policy that you cannot put your own equipment on their network (even via a VPN), then you have no choice in the matter. This should not impact the IR35 status of the contract.
Very few companies will let you put your equipment on their network, so their idea of using their kit is pretty much the industry norm. I've only worked for one client who let me use my equipment, and even then it needed to go through a series of checks before I could plug it in.
