I am applying for a gig at Reuters. They want to use a contract which ties you in for 6 months - they only have to give 2 weeks notice if they want shot of you. Does this affect IR35 status?

It is really IR35 neutral as it stands. If they want that level of notice and you want a good non-IR35 defence, ask them for a zero days notice period. Only employees have to be given notice, suppliers can be dropped at any time.Blog? What blog...?Comment

My contract specifies NO notice period.
Previous contract at another big financial institution terminated my contract at 4:30pm one Friday afternoon and said don't come in on Monday.Comment

Not sure its quite as simple as this...suppliers can be dropped at any time it is true, but rarely without financial penalties.Property advisor for the peopleComment

And your point is? You signed up for three months work at £300 a day and you've been dropped after two, so not earning £6k is not a financial penalty?
It is that simple. No notice is no MOO is no IR35. Notice is for permies and wimps.Blog? What blog...?Comment

If I were to terminate my telephone service contract, I would undoubtedly have to serve some notice period.
The purchaser of the service should pay a penalty when terminating a contract for services early.
What is the difference whether the service supplied is a telephone or a consultant?"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
