The

 tax

 legislation

 IR35

 has

 caused

 some

 concerns

 within

 the

 engineering

 industry

 since

  its

 arrival

 in

 2000.

 Our

 organisation

 has

 the

 issue

 of

 some

 contractors,

 whilst

 in

  perfectly

 suitable

 employment,

 leave

 their

 positions

 to

 comply.

 This

 can

 cause

 issues

 for,

  and

 individuals

 around,

 the

 organisation.

 The

 report

 shows

 that

 the

 organisation

 within

  which

 the

 contractors

 work

 ,

 and

 the

 nature

 of

 UK

 engineering

 employment

 and

 its

  inherent

 national

 culture,

 probably

 exacerbates

 the

 need

 to

 comply

 with

 legislation

 due

  to

 its

 role

 culture.

 Tuckman

 and

 Jensen’s

 (1977)

 fifth

 ‘adjourning’

 stage

 is

 suggested

  more

 relevant

 to

 motivation,

 with

 its

 emphasis

 on

 change

 at

 a

 team

 closure,

 than

  typically

 individual

 focused

 motivational

 theories.

 Finally,

 it

 prepares

 a

 briefing

 note

 for

  a

 senior

 manager,

 identifying

 the

 issue,

 and

 suggesting

 that

 a

 ‘soft’

 HRM

 approach

 with

  integrated

 policies

 of

 training

 and

 developing

 of

 permanent

 staff

 could

 provide

 a

 long-­‐ term

 solution.
