Unfair IR35 assessment
Division: Woolwich Arsenal
Very simple, the company have decided, I'm within IR35, within the interview stage, no one explained,just how much they take, I was already employed on £350 PS, I was offered £400 per shift but within IR35. No one explained this meant, I would be taken home £870 PW, this break down is £400x 5 £2000 per week, take home £1105, then deduct your holiday money which is include in your weekly take home pay £244. £244 from £1105 =£861 per week take home, this is a joke.? Thank you Mr Crossrail, for bankrupting me., I did SDS, but the company HR didn't agree and changed it. On the project,the PC, put ERW into crossrail, stateing this would impact the programme, so crossrail Instructed the PC, NOT to implement IR35. WE have crossrail employers who are on IR35, but, some how not paying Employeers NI.? Atmosphere is shocking and crossrail will struggle soon when P6 and HS2 starts. Personnel, I have had to sell assets to keep me and my family living, all my savings have gone. Its unbelievable. I'm looking very hard for a new job.

Job offered, was told all contracts are inside IR35. No expense paid for travel, so traveling from outside London after paying taxes will turn into a charity...despite of the good rate the company offers.
