    One year contract on PAYE?

    I'm coming to the end of my first contract which was a 1 year deal on a day rate and under an umbrella company.

    Recently I was offered a new 1 year contract but the spec sheet doesn't have a day rate, instead it says "XX,XXX on PAYE". Does this mean I'm effectively on the payroll, i.e. a permi for a year?

    The pay is significantly less than on my last contract - when broken down into 260 days, it works out at about 100 quid less per day.

    Is there some sort of benefit to this arrangement I am not seeing? Or is this just a bad deal?

    As an EMPLOYEE you'll get holidays, sick pay etc.

    Take the gig, get a sick note. Sorted.

      Did you actually work 260 days last year?
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Possibly, after a qualifying period (I'd guess about a year).Plus you'll get to do lots of unpaid overtime, won't have the hassle of claiming expenses AND you get to meet those lovely ladies in HR.
        Oh - and fook all money.

          I did 245 and then they extended my contract another three weeks to use up the remainder of the pot.

            There's £100pd less in it for you and a £75pd saving for the client (+£25 for the pimp).
