Real IT

Blanket position is to offer fixed term contracts of employment. Exception process where individual PSCs can 'convince' the client of their outside status, so technically fair, individual IR35 assessments are being carried out - using CEST. Not seen anyone yet succeed in getting an outside SDS - I'm waiting for mine. Many contractors have already voted with their feet.

CEST tool used, details of assessment withheld, major projects impacted.

Not prepared to accept low paid permanent or pay Employer's NI when I have been classed as an employee. Very short sighted approach being taken

Lloyds prepared to put all contractors under umbrella even if QDOS have assessed contract as most likely outside IR35
