Guidance advice please

Have a job offer for a company in England. They have an office in London but I have been told my job is remote.

My contract says that my usual place of work is my home. The contract also says The Company shall reimburse (or procure the reimbursement of) all reasonable expenses wholly, properly and necessarily incurred by you in the course of your employment, subject to production of receipts or other appropriate evidence of payment.

When I asked if my accommodation and travel is covered, they replied via email and said it would be via expenses policy. When I asked for policy, they said they can't share it as I am not employee but said it would be fair reimbursement. Is this sufficient?

There is no mention of sick pay in my contract and when I asked via email, they said I am entitled to company sick pay on a discretionary basis. Again they said this would not be in contract.

Both are emails from HR team so will I be covered for future use if they ever challenge me on either point?

So the base of your work is London but there's no base office position for you. I've worked a remote contract before in this way.

It means if the company request you in the office (having the WFH in writing from the company is key here) then you can simply use your premises. This means you'll only be travelling for odd meetings (if at all - I went in about 2 time and that was it).

It's a contract or an FTE job?

If it's a contract then you will have no mention of sick pay if you're outside of IR35. If it's an FTE role then it must have vacation, sick and other HR aspects in either your contract or "staff handbook" that's explicitly referenced in the HR contract.

thanks for reply. Yes my normal place of work is noted as my home so I am entitled to expenses claiming?

It is a FTE, they say it is covered in staff handbook but the contract just says policies available in staff handbook and if there is any differences between staff handbook and contractor, contract will be used?
