    Boomed - with caveats =:-o

    Current contract expired at end of July
    Logged into systems from home on August 1st - all access seems ok.
    Show up in the office on August 2nd - everything normal - except access card not working so had to sneak in.
    Trip to other client office next week is confirmed.
    Everyone acting like I still belong and nothing is weird.
    Agent says he cannot get hold of client co contact.
    Client co contact is on holiday.

    Should I be worried?

    What do you think the situation is?
    "Condoms should come with a free pack of earplugs."

    worried about your mental health? then yes

    why you attending a contract after it expired?
    sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice - Asimov (sort of)

    there is no art in a factory, not even in an art factory - Mixerman

    everyone is stupid some of the time - trad.

            Trip to other client office next week is confirmed because I didn't make people aware I was leaving.
            Everyone acting like I still belong and nothing is weird which means I am a hidden permie and will delcaire myself inside IR35 as soon as I can.

            Reworded that for you to reflect your situation

            You should be worried. You are currently not authorised to do anything you have mentioned so are technically breaking the law.

            You have no contract to work therefore you should not be working or accessing the client systems. Ignorance and stupidity is not a legal defense.

            You are acting like a permie not a contractor. I suggest you review your working methods or start declaring yourself inside IR35.

            They may be talking about an extension and fully intend to do so but unless it is in writing you have nothing. I wouldn't even take is an implied contract as you have no authorisation to continue.

              True - I can't find my red stapler.

                While everything you say is technically correct, the way you say it makes you sound like a bellend.

                Perhaps Craic had a point.

                  WHS, plus any insurances you have are likely invalid too.

                    Coming from anyone else I might have been offended.
