Hi all,
I've been contracting for a while and on my current contract, the client has come to me with a an issue with my working hours. My contract states a professional working day. I was working hours I prefer and think this is ok (it is 8 hours). I am an independent contractor after all. He would like me to shift my hours later by one hour to be in line with the companies core hours. I said this was a problem for various reasons and one being that he can't control my working hours.
In the end, I decided to give the new hours a go, but it is not working out (I have kids to get home to) so I am about to tell him that I will be changing them.
I'm not sure what his reaction will be, but I really don't want him insisting on certain hours as that sounds like a big IR35 problem. Do you all agree?
