Division: Retail
I'm not aware whether a tool was used but I do have an SDS determining my role as outside IR35 with the reason being: i am able to work for multiple clients: no mutual obligation: ability to provide a substitute.
There was talk of contract length being linked to project stage gates but that hasn't happened yet, I have been offered a 6 month extension which would end 6-8 weeks before forecast project shut down.
I'm not aware of any contractors leaving.
Personally I'm relieved the assessment is Outside IR35 and will most likely sign the extension offered as the project is a great opportunity to develop by experience.
