I've recently started a contract which has the following T&C's within the contract:
Assignment Hours: 40 hours per week
Contract Rate: The rate of £xxx per day
Weekday Authorised Additional Hour Rate after 45 hours: The rate of £xx.xx per hour
Weekend Authorised Additional Hour Rate: The rate of £xx.xx per hour
Basically, this means I need to work 5 hours for 'free' before I an entitled for any overtime payment (i.e for hours worked over 45 hours per week).
Does anyone have any thoughts about whether this contract (based on the excerpt above) is inside IR35? The 5 'free' hours that I'd need to work before claiming weekday overtime seems a bit fishy to me (i.e something you'd see in a permie contract)
If a contract extension is offered (due for renewal mid june) , i'll get the contract properly reviewed.
Thanks
