Many contractors are worried that they’ll be forced inside IR35 when reforms come in April 2021. Affected contractors will be watching closely, and those who have a choice will move to agencies and clients who can reassure them. This presents an opportunity for recruiters, both in attracting new talent, and cementing relationships with existing contractors.

Take Action now:

If your contractors see you engaging with the issue and taking action early, they’ll have more confidence that you’ll look after their interests.

Acting early will also give your clients the best chance of making any adjustments, so more of your contractors can safely work outside IR35.

Show that you understand:

If you demonstrate an understanding of IR35, how the reform will affect contractors and why they might be worried, you’re more likely to have their confidence in the run-up to April 2021.

To help you acheive this, you may need to arrange training with IR35 compliance experts like Orange Genie.

Provide sound advice:

Your contractors will need advice in a number of specialist areas, particularly if they will be newly inside.

How will it affect their income? Do they need an umbrella company? Should they keep their PSC open?
