IR35 Off Payroll Working

‘Status’ (IR35, Outside IR35, Unknown) and ‘Verified check box’ fields have been added to Contract and Temp Jobs on UK databases:

We would suggest you utilise a Comms Centre template to request confirmation from the Company whether the job is inside or outside IR35

Tick verified once the client has confirmed whether the job is inside or outside IR35, this will ensure is passes any business rules (contract) or compliance checks (Temp) when a placement is made.

with defaults available per company, to be completed when the Job’s IR35 Status determination has been received from the Client and confirmed

The Company ‘IR35 Status’, defaults to ‘Unknown’

Within the Reference Data you can manage worker types and add a type (Ltd Company, Ltd Company IR35 etc...) this allows you to setup worker types that differentiate between inside IR35 and outside IR35:

The Candidate worker type must be set as IR35 where appropriate, for the IR35 status to be determined on the placement.

NOTE: - All existing worker types are NOT set as IR35.

When IR35 comes into force in April 2020, either existing worker types can be ticked as IR35, or new worker types can be created that are IR35, as appropriate.

see reference data section for more details

‘Status’ (IR35, Outside IR35, Unknown) has been added to Contract and Temp Placements on UK databases:

• If the candidate has a worker type that is not ticked as IR35, then their placements will be ‘Outside IR35’
• If the candidate has a worker type that is ticked as IR35, and the job they are placed on is IR35, then the placement will be IR35
• If the candidate has a worker type that is ticked as IR35, and the job they are placed on is Unknown, then the placement will be Unknown

Changing IR35 Status

Note: When a placement is created, the placement worker type defaults to the candidates’ worker type. If a candidate changes their worker type, you can choose which placements have their worker type changed. If the ‘candidate worker type’ and ‘placement worker type’ are different, it is the ‘placement worker type’ that is used to calculate the IR35 Status

If the Jobs’ IR35 Status is changed, and it affects the status of placements that may have been processed through back office, a warning is displayed:

• All Existing companies will be set to ‘Unknown’
• Closed Contract / Temp Jobs will be set to ‘Outside IR35’ and ‘Verified’
• Current Contract / Temp Jobs will be set to ‘Unknown’ (Current is any Contract job with a status type of ‘current’, or any Temp job with a confirmed shift in the past month or in the future)
• Contract / Temp Placements will be set as per the standard rules for placements. See Enhancement 103471 for further details
