Our contractors

Under this arrangement, you’ll have the same contractual terms as a permanent EY employee, including benefits, notice period and statutory rights. The only difference is your contractual end date. Because of this, a FTC arrangement differs from the other two contract types in some important ways. For example, we’ll be more involved in directing and supervising your work on a day-to-day basis – just like any employed team member. Rather than being limited to a specific project, task or set of commercial deliverables, you may be asked to work on a variety of more loosely defined assignments. You’ll need to dedicate your whole working time to EY, which means you can’t deliver services to other organisations at the same time.

When you join our team, we expect the same quality of work and professionalism that we do from our permanent employees. We’ll give you regular feedback on the services you provide, to help guide your efforts and make sure you meet these standards.

You’re also responsible for recording the days you’ve worked along with the relevant client information. Your manager will forward these onto us so we can invoice you accordingly. They’re also responsible for forwarding any travel-related costs you accrue during your time with us.

Your manager will make sure you have everything you need to succeed. They’ll look over what you produce, provide feedback and do whatever they can to make your EY experience a great one.

Things to note

• Initial contracts cannot be issued for longer than six months
• Client-related expenses are payable separately from the daily rate and as agreed with your manager
• We’ll confirm the end of your contract typically two weeks prior to its finish, or as agreed in your contract
