Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions

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