IPA & work invoiced outside BR 12 mths?

Idk if anyone has any experience & can advise but it's worth a shot!

Has anyone been in a situation where whilst BR they may have an option to work, but in a situation where the work they do is only payable outside the BR period under their contract. In addition where the work isn't payable on a day / hour rate - but is subject to assessment as to remuneration at the end of the job.

An example being a builder who builds a house during undischarged period - but only on completion of the work is to be paid?

This wouldn't be a contrivance to avoid earning whilst undischarged - but an industry accepted way of working. The builder wouldn't know the final value of the work done - as it could be paid less than hoped for.

Obviously the earning part of the job would be whilst un discharged but payment once discharged. How would an IPA be calculated?

  • Is it usual for there to be no advance on payment over the period of the job?

    Yes!

    My example isn't the best, but yes - it's normal & accepted practice.

    From my idiot's point of view I'd think that income is only income once it's safely in your pocket.
