    The question is, its just a Qdos certificate (stating outside). There hasnt been any formal communication from Worley saying 'business as usual'.
    However i think it would take a brave man to say 'guys your all inside' after you'd received your outside determination........
    Agree, but they wouldn’t say that. They would say: no PSCs.

      Other Rumours

      Premier Oil - 40 Contractors threaten to walk out if they are declared inside
      Perenco - No Contractors, PAYE only
      Worley - Designers to Lead Engineer level outside, above that inside.

        Good luck with that while day rates are at multi-decade lows and many very good people are still out of work.

          Now that's an interesting one - lower level substitutable staff outside, senior people inside.

          Are levels above Lead Engineer knowledge / skilled based or management types?

            Above Lead Engineer it tends to be a project management role.

                Repsol Sinopec

                Repsol Sinopec

                Mainly PAYE, few staff positions offered.
                Legacy contractors which the company do not want to lose are still holding out

                  Holding out for Repsol to back down and offer outside contractos or being kept outside?

                    Little bit of both - Mainly for Repsol to back down, Repsol are currently paying for role assessment review to determine status.

                      Heard Aker are telling their contractors that they will be outside, at least at the Reading office.

                      I wanted to apply to a few positions at Wood and when I asked the agent if it's in / out, got told they are doing whatever they can to stick as many people out. Makes sense, as last time I heard it was super heavy contractor oriented.

                      As for more senior people being pushed inside it actually makes sense imho, it's much harder to not be forced to do corp stuff at higher levels (and also push the interests of your own ltd above everything else).
