Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions

A PR contract based in Manchester is still assessed on facts, not postcode. Status paperwork should reflect Manchester attendance, hybrid days, and substitution. Inside IR35 PR 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 PR before you treat the SDS as settled.
