    Contract Extension Paperwork/IR35

    This evening I've been given the paperwork for a (very) short term 2 week contract extension, starting on Monday. The paperwork from the agency literally consists of a sheet of A4 which consists of sections relating to contractor details, assignment details and rate details. Although the previous contract I signed was as one would expect which was reviewed for IR35 compliance etc, this one just doesn't look right.

    There is no mention of a linked contract (or preceding contract?) so how do I know what terms and conditions the contract is bound by? Would signing a contract like this be bad from an IR35 perspective?

    Although I accept this isn't much information to go on, surely it should really be a "proper" contract even if only for 2 weeks work?

    Isn't it just the contract schedule with the dates on? The same terms would apply as before.

      The person who put the document together has put in a footer stating "Schedule 1: Assignment Details for Contract for Services Between X & MyCo Limited". Otherwise there is nothing else stating it is a schedule as such.

      I'm just a little surprised as with previous clients/agencies I've always been given a completely new contract whenever an extension has been offered although accept in this instance because they are only talking a couple of weeks maybe it is different?

        My contracts always have a "master" agreement, with schedules describing the deliverables/timescales.
