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