Mott MacDonald
Unfair IR35 assessment
2 months and counting with no pay. Questions answered on my behalf (is that legal??). Appeal submitted 4 weeks ago and no reply. Morson's do absolutely nothing to assist. Only plus side is im out of "official" contract so i can leave on the spot. Its getting very close to that point. I think this is very embarrassing for Motts. Extremely unprofessional.

Mott MacDonald
Unfair IR35 assessment
Division: PPN
Mott McDonald have used KPMG via Morson to do their determinations. Appears that the initial questionnaire sent out to contractors to fill in must have been discarded. Managers filling in the answers to the tool questions on what they think rather than reality. Left to the last minute with contract being cancelled before the appeals have been done (for what they are worth) and pushed into Champion Contractors (linked to Morsons?) Process looks to be done correctly but stage managed to give the risk free desired result for Mott McDonald. Lets see who is still there in 3 months time......

Capgemini
Unfair IR35 assessment
With an long term association with Capgemini as a contractor finally decided to leave. My contract was extended for more 6months but with inside ir35. I have known other companies who go via inside ir35 verification and let stay good and hard working conditions relationship. Also an individual can have a ir35 insurance to cover if there's any audit. Calgary HR should rethink there approach towards ir35 and help there colleagues stay.

Unfair IR35 assessment
KPMG assessment used. Very basic 20 questions online. No consultation. SDS found inside, no surprise. Completed my own IR35 Shield questionnaire and found outside.

Unfair IR35 assessment
Division: Nuclear
Had determination done via kpmg tool which looks flawed and not fit for purpose. 3 external independent reviews previously carried out including cest all outside, yet kpmg puts me inside with incorrect answers to questions provided by management. Poor appeal process as no time left and contract cancelled. Forced into unregulated umbrella working, zero benefits zero rights zero hour contract, what could be better....
