Outsourced to a specialist firm who made individual assessments. Great atmosphere and huge period of growth and I am so relieved that I can continue to do the job I love, for as long as they need me.

PSR/AMS now have the contract. Payday moved from Friday to Monday without notification & not communicated within transfer client help guides. 95% of contracts inside IR35

Been told today that all roles have already been assessed as inside and employers NI is being deducted from the agreed rate - even got a worked example. This is despite me having employed staff and supplying into them (via 3rd party). Con call arrange for end of week to discuss. But long and short is all work to go via a frame work provider and you like it or leave.

No individual SDS received prior to IR35 deferral, post-deferral PSCs continue to be engaged on existing contractual basis.

Thorough assessment involving staff specifically trained in IR35 Chapter 10, SDS recieved. Mood is cautiously optimistic as no contractors have left as yet.

Individual assessments done via Paystream almost two months ago for Contractors on Crossrail Project, still not had final decision. Now mid March and causing much stress/anxiety being uncertain what will happen in now only a couple of weeks. Many spoken too in same position are looking at moving on at critical stage of project. Very poor communication with Contractors to date.

Everyone is being ruled Inside IR35. You can then appeal with a QDOS assessment that you have to pay £79 for. Amey management then judge if you've answered the assessment correctly and ultimately rule you in or out of IR35

Have been told today that without consideration all are inside IR35

Contractors laid off and permanent roles offered on 1970s benchmarked salaries!!

Unfair blanket assessments carried out resulting in people leaving and being fired. Terrible atmosphere now and a negative effect on the project.

Role based assessments. Most roles been inside IR35 for some time, PAYE via Capita. Employers NI taken from contractors rate.

No assessment accepted They have come up with 6 questions which are impossible to pass and therefore everyone is inside no matter what!! They’ve made redundancies and others are making alternative arrangements Mood is very low and productivity is being affected

Ending all contracts in March

Individual assessments being undertaken. Some fall "outside"

About to lose lots of contractors and end up with skills shortage and lots of unfilled vacancies.

Only option was to go Perm

Blanket determination that all non-perm roles are now within scope. Promised appeal process but not currently forthcoming.

Hitachi has imposed a blanket statement on no use of PSC's with the only options being under the agency as PAYE employees or permanent/fixed term contracts with Hitachi themselves. Obviously this causes a considerable undue amount of stress to all contractors invovled and their families as only limited number of permanent positions exist with substantial numbers having their engagements terminated on 27th March 2020

Morson Projects doing individual assessments and standing by out of scope determinations where appropriate. Well done MPL. Top client.

Some contractors offered permanent positions. No changes to existing contractors until 1st April.
