          Yes, according to an Employment Tribunal.

          No, according to HMRC.

            Redundancy Imminent

            Hi there, I am just about to enter the scary world of not being permanently employed as I'm in the process of being made redundant due to a commercial factor (client pulled a significant volume product).

            Although I have been put at risk and have a 3 month notice period the 2 projects I am currently working are roughly 6 months from completion.

            The company is going to ask me to complete the projects (with very specific agreed deliverables) I'm not too keen on effectively having 6 months notice and working it all, when other colleagues will be on equivalent notice periods but will be gone by the end of the month. However I am keen to finish the jobs (credibility etc as positives to support me going forward) but it needs to be financially advantageous to me.

            What would the view of working my 3 months, then 3 months of specific contracted activities detailed with fixed milestones and end dates.

            From what i've read it doesn't look practical so what might other options be?

              Agree a fixed price for the work.

              If that's not viable, Friday to Monday perm to contractor is not automatically inside IR35. Follow the usual guidance, get a statement of work, use a good contract template, get insurance and make the cultural shift to start acting as a business - stop going to permie meetings etc.

                3 month notice period - what penalty is written into your contract if you leave tomorrow ?

                  This. Doesn't matter if it's a former employer if you agree a fixed price, it will be easy to argue you are outside IR35 on a fixed price job.

                  Your fixed price has to include the fact that they aren't paying National Insurance, holidays, sick pay, etc. It also has to cover you for risks:
                  possible overruns in case the size of the job is underestimated, exposure to someone else messing up and leaving you stuck, spec-confusion, payment delays, etc. In a fixed price scenario all the risks transfer from the client to you. You need to assess what those risks are worth and include them in the price.

                    The risk can be mitigated to am extent by including some text around pricing of change requests.

                      Thanks for the advice

                      Thanks to everyone for the advice, things have moved on a little. they have confirmed they aren't able to agree the contract route to finish the 2 projects due to pension and PAYE 'issues'. I am waiting on them coming back with a settlement agreement to extend my notice period, at least this way I avoid the risks of a fixed price contract and can twist their arm for an 'enhanced' redundancy package. However i will be prepared to effect an immediate exit, collect my redundancy and jump in to my new adventure!
