My ClientCo Just Blanketed Everyone Inside

Alas it looks that way....

Don't be all doom and gloom PC, I just saw a consultancy get the boot from the Public sector as they could not supply enough bodies. Even though they were told they couldn't supply anyone from outside the UK, they took a chance that they could do otherwise once they had won the bid and it didn't work out for them.

[Whorty]

do they? - how do you know that?

Because I can read. You should try it sometime.

[BR14]

Because I can read. You should try it sometime.

so where do you read that contractors vote in specific ways?

Tea leaves, it's one of the skills of being a highly trained zoo keeper, init?

And yet contractors still vote for the party that is having a direct impact on their take home pay and businesses. The mind boggles.

Contractors gotta vote Brexit Party then. Labour and Libs will also screw contractors over.

It's Started in the Telco's

Just had confirmation via agent e-mail cascade,


"Vodafone will no longer engage with individuals providing their services via Personal Services Companies beyond 28th February 2020. Vodafone will only engage with PAYE or Umbrella workers, who will be subject to PAYE deductions for Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions.

For all existing arrangements workers MUST be transitioned to a compliant solution i.e. PAYE or Umbrella by 28 February 2020.

What does this mean to you?
If your contract end date is beyond 28th February 2020 you should start to consider the different engagement options available to you now, so that you can make an informed decision on how you wish to continue your assignment with Vodafone beyond this date"



I would imagine a lot of the vendors ( Ericsson / NSN / Fujitsu etc ) to the major fixed line & mobile Telco's will now also follow suit...........

Everyone will follow suit, or have a massive target on their head for HMRC to aim at.

Limited Company IT contracting is dead and buried. You are either now PAYE permies or PAYE temp permies without any benefits or protections.

I wonder just how many of these BigCo's that put everyone onto payroll will be surprised when those same people who used to be busy delivering as contractors suddenly start to behave more like permanent resources who have the safety net of sick days, can't be arsed etc etc.

I've always found the constant cycle of contract renewal discussions to be an excellent source of motivation for delivering.

If I was going to get paid regardless I can't help but think my output would go down considerably.

I can't be the only one thinking i'd serve up a big dose of F.U. to the respective Company going forward??

I do the absolute minimum, take as much as I can get, work the minimum hours possible. It's quite nice actually kicking back compared to IT Contracting and not giving a flying ****, you get paid no matter what you deliver.
