2 year rule

[jason986]

If you work for the same client (direct, no agency) on and off over the years do you need to be careful about the 2 year rule? Or is it just of you work for 2 years continuously for the same client?

I have been working for the same client on and off over the last 3 years. May be totalling 18 months so far. And each time it is usually at different client sites though the same office pays the bills.

Seems you've already answered the question. "On and Off"

What were the time periods during the Off's ?

[jason986]

2 year

Sizeable.... Between 3 months and 6 months in the Offs.

And working for another client for the Offs.

If ur working for another client you should laughing all the way to the piggy bank.

Hi Milan,

Long time no speak! The 2 year rule is something I've noticed on this forum a few times. Latest being that you can't claim travelling expenses once you have been at the clients for more than 2 years. But I think its deeper than that.

The villa was great. We have just moved back to the UK again after one year in Spain. Had a great time. Kids now speak fluent Spanish (not bad for 4 year old!). Came back because I was doing a lot of work for IBM in the UK and the travelling was killing me. No home working allowed by the client

Back working in Holland agin for the next few months. Homeworking definately allowed

How is .Net going? SAP Developers still going strong! Now moved onto ECC5.0 which is more Java based so trying to get my head round the classes and methods instead of normal abap.

IF your clients are close together like'The City' then they all count as the same in the 2 year rule, you need to be travelling to different places to take advantage of it.

It's the site that matters, not the client.
