[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 467687, member: 8133"] While pimlico plumbers in this case were clearly taking the piss here, I think its difficult to set a criteria that stops those taking the piss, yet doesn't catch those who are genuinely SE. My first thought, was how about if SE workers were not allowed to have more than 75% of their yearly invoice amount to a single customer ..... but I don't think it would work, what would happen is it would be a 50% split to two customer companies who just happened to be in the same group, and what about the SE who floats between two big companies spending about 40% of time at each, and the last 20% doing little domestic bits. One of the big companies has a tough year and has to lay off the subbies, the other is doing alright and as the chap is one of their regular subbies that they trust, they give him more work in preference to some of the more occasional subbies or agency they use, so he is now doing 80% for them that year. I'd be interested in ideas of how the line should be drawn to avoid failures either way because I think its harder than it looks at first! [/QUOTE]
