In the UK we have IR35 legislation which the government, in its wisdom, is using to cast an ever widening net around the contracting sector. It's become so farcical that a lot of contractors won't touch anything in the public sector while public sector recruiters are bending over backwards to convince contractors that what they're offering is "outside IR35". So the government is effectively trying to find ways round its own stupid legislation. One of the factors which helps mitigate IR35 is a substitution clause, ie. you're replaceable.
