I have been with the same client for over 3 years () and have been offered a further extension.
As I am in a relatively strong bargaining position I have decided to negotiate the terms of the contract to try and remove any reference to hours, location etc. This is in an attempt to protect myself from IR35.
The agency are suggesting a compromise with wording such as "hours to be agreed between client and contractor representative"
I know that duration of contract is not a specific factor in respect of IR35, however I want to do everything I can to protect myself.
I currently ensure I work off site at least once a week and use my own equipment where possible.
Any thoughts on the proposed compromise - or is it better to stick to my guns and ask for this to be removed?
Many thanks for any help
