Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
A Editor contract based in Manchester is still assessed on facts, not postcode. Status paperwork should reflect Manchester attendance, hybrid days, and substitution. Inside IR35 Editor pay in Manchester is usually umbrella or PAYE, while an outside SDS lets the Manchester contractor invoice through a limited company. Advertised Manchester rates follow major-city rate parity, so city uplifts do not imply an outside finding. Travel between home and a Manchester office is rarely a substitute right. Check Manchester on-site expectations for this Editor before you treat the SDS as settled.
