I have started my new gig last week, due to the speed and Xmas, I only received the contract last Thursday, read it and it contained an opting out clause which I have not agreed to - my accountant advised me to opt in as he said this clause has no baring on he IR35 issue what so ever !! I called the agent and told him that I wanted to opt in - he comes back to me with sure, we need copies of passport / driving license certified by a solicitor , and certified copies of all my qualifications, and this will delay the new contract coming out to me.
In addition they wanted to contact my accountant directly, am not happy about that. I think I will not send in timesheets till they sort this out.
What do you guys do?? This is the first time I don’t listen to their advise re-opt out. There are another 2 contractors who started with me, but based in a different areas, I may give them a ring to ask them, but any views would be helpful.
