Allegis/Tek: Interesting Contract Term

[Cirrus]

Just got an extension in the form of a new Schedule: Project Details.

The wording includes

The Company shall provide the following, non-exclusive resources in support of the Specified Services:

• One or more Consultants will lead the project on behalf of the Company.
• One or more Personal Computer systems ...
  etc

I must ask my agent whether anyone has ever brought along other consultants under such a contract

What you should be is how often. Someone might have but in a vast majority they won't have. You know many contracts are worded just to be IR35 friendly so I wouldn't get over excited when another sham clause appears that looks good.

I agree these are all sham clauses but my accountant always says "But the point is an employee contract would never ever have those words in - so you are not an employee".

Well, it makes me feel better...

That's nice. Just make sure you put it through QDOS and get a pass for contract and working practices. That would make me feel better.

I have the same contract from Allegis on my current gig. Been through QDOS and it passed with flying colours.

But does it reflect reality..?

As no HR department would risk employing him on a permanent basis, yes....
