Yep, just about to be extended, all agreed outside IR35, then bump. All projects ground to a halt and given two weeks notice.
Only to be expected, my only concern is outstanding invoices during this period!Comment

I may be in the same boat.
Contract has just been extended but been told that if London goes into lockdown then my project is paused and im done.Comment

So my dilemma
Still waiting on confirmation but if my project does get paused, i have 2 options:
1) Back on the bench
2)They are happy to keep me on helping out on other things (i.e. IT Support) as perm numbers are dwindling
Problem is...Option 2 puts me squarely inside of IR35
What you would guys do?
We dont know how long COVID-19 is going to be around or how long its going to take the UK to get back on its feet. Do I risk going on the bench for an unknown amount of time or do I stay on as a BAU support, inside of IR35 and risk Hector calling?
Do you think, given the current climate they would care/understand?
(For what its worth I am working in the NHS).Comment

Once we get over this mess, HMRC won't care on jot that you had to do this to keep getting paid and will bleed every penny out of you.Comment
