The client co has appointed a specified agency as there sole supplier as of 4th April 2016. I did not contract through this particular agency, but I have been informed by my agency that the client co's preferred agency is taking over payment terms only for my supplied services from the 5th April 2016. However, my agency has informed me that as the preferred agency and client co has imposed "tighter requirements for insurance and record keeping" that my agency has issued me with a completely revised contract. This revised contract goes beyond payment schedules and insurance and record keeping. I am currently getting both contracts (old and new) reviewed against each other so that I understand the implication of the changes in full and the IR35 status of the new contract. The original, and currently contract in force, was outside IR35.
Has anyone had any experience of this, contract changes being imposed mid contract, and how did you handle any changes you were not happy with. I have been contracting for 10+ years and never had this happen before.
