Potential gig with on-call element

Originally posted by sal View PostHow is it different than a lawyer's retention? The on-call element isn't that much of an IR35 factor. What is more important is that is that it's usually tied to a support role and IMHO most of these are inside IR35 to begin with.
IR35 aside, the terms of the on-call sound generous. Just don't accept TOIL and what not and demand payment for it all. Even if remuneration is not strictly in the contract I would simply refuse doing it if they renege on what was discussed.Last edited by dx4100; 30 October 2019, 13:10.Comment

On-call work would not definitely make the contract inside but it's probably a danger point.
One option would be to split it into two contracts, one for the regular work and a second for the on-call weekend work. You could potentially operate the weekend one inside IR35, the other outside.Comment

Originally posted by perplexed View PostCompanies do outsource support work. As long as the contract and working practices are there, can't see it's an IR35 issue.
As it happens, the issue has self-resolved.
I had a message from the agency asking me to give them a call. When I got in touch it turns out the client has requested not to proceed with the placement as apparently they took issue with the fact that B&C were involved and daring to request clarifications/amendments to confirm the IR35 status. Particularly as the client was insistent it be a 12 month contract.
Not impressed with the client or the agent's handling of the situation tbh but that's business for you.Comment
