    I think the choice was pretty much rape with or without the lube, but I'm not entirely sure which of the two we actually got.

      Looks like, if lube was used, it was poor quality and drying rapidly.

              Ditto. Although it affords me little cheer.

                As per usual the article reveals the truth near the end after the sensational headlines.

                "A contractor who uses an agency to find work with a range of IT firms for short periods will still be able to classify themselves as a personal service company. But a middle-manager brought in to do maternity leave cover at a firm will in future have to go on the firm’s payroll. The new rules will apply to both private firms and the public sector, where there have been numerous examples of senior staff paid ‘off the books’ in recent years."

                So IT contractors doing technical/PM work on projects are fine. There is no way this will work, it will be just another box you have to tick on your contract from the agent.

                Are you a real contractor? YES/NO

                  Yes, if the short term work is < 1 month.

                    Current client workarounds include bumping line managers and cost centres, it's in their interest to have projecty peeps off the books for their year end, they will find a way if required.
