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.

Pitch for a new contract to train the permies at a premium rate.
Client gets what he wants, you get an increased rate and relative certainty on the existing contract because it will have ended.
Different deliverables call for a different contract.Comment

Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostIf he is offered the extension to feb, then surely he can pay for a contract review. If the review shows the role as being outside, then he could argue that his review better reflects the role because a review has actually taken place rather than the clients view that the role is inside, based on the fact that they couldn't be bothered reviewing it.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

If the contract has passed a review and you have IR35 insurance, I would tell them that I will likely take the extension to Feb, meanwhile try how the market is and if it's bad - accept the extension, otherwise just jump ship.Comment

At least this client recognises the importance of domain knowledge. A client I was at outsourced the whole IT department and lost all the domain knowledge of the bespoke systems. I didn't stick around to see how it went but I'm pretty sure not well. I expect a few of those let go with decent redundancy pay were hastily called back on favourable consultancy terms to fill the void.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Been here a long time. I’m leaning towards getting out ASAP, getting some training in and applying for something new.Comment

So now they can’t develop on the old system either because they have no SME’s ?Comment
