Contractor’s Corner

ITS  provides a specialist service for IT contractors and freelancers working in professional service environments. Through our news pages we aim to keep you updated on relevant employment legislation changes, tax advice and employment status issues as well as the very latest contract opportunities. We also provide regular up-to-date salary surveys.

Most Contractors complain that their Agency places them then disappears. That's certainly true of most Agencies.  At ITS we have realised that communicating with our contractors during the assignment is the best way to ensure the longest possible term for the contract:

• We help with your integration into the team
• We offer 4 week, 13 week and 26 week reviews, carried out on client sites, to ensure any issues on either side are picked up and resolved early
• This is as much a service to our Clients as it is to our Contractors.

Useful Info

Here we provide a number of useful links which are relevant both to experienced contractors and those just starting out. Click on the logos below to take you to the official sites.

	ITS are affiliate members of the PCG. In our opinion the PCG site is the most comprehensive around for contractors. Particularly useful is the 66 page free guide to contracting for first timers, whilst for more established contractors the dedicated legal and tax help lines should prove helpful.
	Contractor UK contains much of the information available at the PCG, but aimed specifically at IT contractors.
