Hi all, question I contract for a German engineering company and I've recently been told by a German colleague that the field installation guys get hazard pay based on a risk company but even though I work along side these guys they will not pay me the same daily payment any thoughts?

If it's not in the contract, then you either suck it up or walk away (assuming there is a clause which allows early termination).
If it's in the contract, then you need to point that out to the client and invoice appropriately.Comment

Assuming this hazard pay was not in your contract, then if you were happy with the rate you are getting when you signed the contract, then you should not become unhappy just because someone else is getting more.

Originally posted by Goatfell View PostNonsense, all else being equal, if someone next to me is getting more than I am, I'm damn sure I'll be doing my level best to get the same. There are many ways to achieve this, whining about it to the uncaring universe isn't one of them though.Comment
