Client Co have dictated that everyone on site regardless of who they work for are subject to random drug searches. A failure to either give a sample or a failure of the test will lead to banning from site.

Originally posted by Sockpuppet View PostI know its not, I'm not that worried about the drug test - this was more of a rant that I feel like everything HMRC will try to stiff you as IR35 on.

Anyway brb off to piss in a pot.
As for HMRC well yes so look at getting out of the bum on a seat market.

Can't see that this will have any bearing on IR35. If you do any work as a contractor, permie or sole trader on the railways, you will be subjected to this. It's health and safety (in a good way), nothing more.

Don't assume everything is an automatic IR35 fail.
