Newbie question

[sheridan]

Hi All,

I am just about to leave my permie job in favor of contracting, but i have a few question if any body has a few moments to spare.

1. Do i need to provide my own equipment i.e. Laptop software etc
2. Do you get paid weekly or monthly?


Thanks
Sheridan

Some clients do expect you to provide your own equipment. I contracted at Microsoft and contractors were expected to provide a high spec laptop at the very least (they don't use desktops there).

Most agency contracts expect monthly invoices but some are weekly. So depends.

Good luck and don't forget to push for IR35 friendly contract terms, join the PCG or similiar for insurance and expect the government to try and put you out of business at every opportunity.
