Direct Line Group

The technology department want people for 4-6 months but will only offer Umbrella / PAYE - no assessments made or offered. They effectively want to have the benefit of the flexibility of a contractor but have them taxed like perms. When you raise it to them they don’t care. This all filters down the the CIO as it was her decision to do this. Other areas of Direct Line Group are doing things properly and fairy and offering Outside IR35 roles where assessed and outcomes support accordingly. The technology department will suffer significantly once covid is over and/or other companies start assessing properly because they will see contractors leave in their droves! Only when it’s too late will they maybe release that they should have treated their contractors more fairly!
