Hi everyone!
First time posting here. Recently started contracting and I've had my contract reviewed by QDOS. The last stage is to do a working practices assessment.
This is both a IR35 question and an advice on for you seasoned contractors.
When it comes to working practices regarding time off and working from home, when you are denied, how do you approach the situation?
I reviewed my contract and there is no clause for leave requests and I can work "wherever agreed". Now that I'm on client side, the agency I'm working for has told me the client does not want anyone working from home and very strict about this and a request must be made in advance. Secondary, leave must be approved. Tried to book my birthday off and it has been denied as "may be needed but possibly not" by the agency.
I appreciate these are minor points but also showing control over me. How would you approach this?
For reference re the agency and client. I am contracted via a SoW to a consulting firm (agency) and they are providing services to the client. The denied requests and approvals are to and from the agency.
Appreciate the help and in advance.
Have a great day and thank you!
