Once the number gets above £65 it's irrelevantComment

Originally posted by Jog On View PostNo I was fully aware of the rates (based on > or < 4h days). The issue was whether I was entitled to anything at all based on the fact that I can still pay myself salary and divis while benched.Comment

Originally posted by pr1 View Postfair enough - the fact you bothered to add the "(gross inc VAT)" made it sound like you were trying to make the day rate look as big as possible
My concerns were:
1. Am I entitled being on the bench?
2. What kind of evidence do I provide and is it as accurate and factual as it can be given my situation?Last edited by Jog On; 27 April 2017, 09:58."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

You should be able to volunteer to go on the list for this, for certain dates. You could tie in with a bit of benchtime, keep busy and make sure you don't get a shout during a contract.
