As per my post here..
http://forums.contractoruk.com/publi...company-2.html
Capita have been less than useful about any information so I have had to put the family on a baked bean diet for now and leave on the 24th.
I hear a rumour that a decision on a formal determination or guidance from NWR was made yesterday but have yet to hear anything.
According to NWR they will only lose 12 out of 1200 contractors over this...

It may be different in other areas but in BI, I've yet to see it successfully offshored.

Originally posted by MoroccanMole View PostI work along side Network Rail Contractor's and have heard similar rumours about reviews incoming for key / senior roles to remain outside IR35. Similar rumours from TFL after the initial scare. I wouldn't like the uncertainty at this late stage however, and many are moving on.
I might get some flak for saying this on a predominately IT Contractor Message Board, but Engineers are in high-demand and it's a skill set that's not easily replaced / replicated by off-shoring.

Originally posted by BigRed View PostI'm advising my kids to get into trades such as central heating engineer, gas engineer, electrician etc. Something that requires a physical presence and qualifications in some complex safety regulations.
Anything that accommodates remote working is a red flag in a global market.

Originally posted by BigRed View PostIt's not so much where they are from, it's if they hold all the relevant safety certificates. If it's for a big contractor they can get anyone to do the work and have it inspected by a supervisor, but for PSCs they need all the appropriate certificates
