    Canada gets to grip with undercutting by onshored intra-company transfer workers

    Someone in Canada appears to have woken up to what is going on and no pissing about with some 'review' to kick it into the long grass for 18 months as happens here in the UK when they want to avoid making any decision which requires a bit of backbone.

    In Canada this change is with immediate effect.

      looks really good, when can we implement in UK?

      maybe worth sending to our Nige to raise as an issue?

      If Canada succeed then UK could follow.

            Ok I'll send it to his MP also!
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

                With pressure groups like the 'Friend of India' in Parliament lobbying for more offshoring, you've got more chance of get IR35 scrapped
                Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                  well if it gets exposure then things might change, we thought we were never going to get immigration down or a vote on the EU but it may happen now.

                    I'm not so sure. Using the governments own pay scale tables for migrant IT workers on a rate of £30,000 over £250m is lost because of the UKBA rules in treating business expenses as 'salary' for onshored workers to get to the rate required for the visa. As most of these bods are working on client contract and the rates will be double that you are looking at over £500m per annum as a subsidy to their sponsoring companies.

                    I would like to see Cameron or Clegg put on the spot and defend that in the run up to the next election. They have no problem bashing the bankers or Amazon or Google but then that is easy because they cannot do anything about that. Here they can.
