job on books

[DHTiling]

A job is a job... If you have no work on and need this job then IMO you have to do what keeps you working.. no brainer really..

Yes the money is poo but you have to live..

Also the job could open up some new contacts for future reference..

in all honesty considering we all know what the rates are like atm i think its a good deal nybor


i dont know any companies who would be willing to give a brand new van,pay for fuel,proper wage and holidays plus money for being away

the money may not be what your used to being self employed though

i get to take the van home ,and keep over the weekends , and they have no probs if i use van to do my own work at weekends , as long as im not travelling to far

Not sure for that money with even a van, fuel card and holiday I would do it. Unless you enjoy working away ? I dont anymore. But as said a job is a job.

You'll have to pay company car tax on the van if you have it overnight and at weekends, but most job need vehicles like this (my neighbour works for British Gas) only incur a minimal amount of tax. I think it used to be about £50 a month but your accountant will know a more accurate figure. So out of your gross earnings you'll have to pay income tax, national insurance contributions, co car tax and depending on the size of the organisation, you are likely to be auto-enrolled into a company pension that you will have to request to opt out of if you don't want to do it.

get it in writing, preferably as part of your contract of employment. otherwise they might easily go back on their word.

Well there is only you that knows what you need to earn to cover your bills , lifestyle etc. If you can do your own work inbetween then thats a bonus too but dont knock yourself about in the process.
I guess some people would kill for that opportunity , only you know your worth.
All the best

Paid holidays ?? what is that ? :mad2:

if i were you rob, id give it a go.
whats the worst that can happen? if its not what you hoped for then you can leave.
its easier to leave a job than it is to start one these days so i think you are in a nice position to suck it and see ;0)

all the best mate
