Payment

[RichardCranium]

My contract has recently started but I've not been paid any money yet. The agent has told me that it is a 6 month contract and I will get the money after this. I'm still waiting to see the contract but it should be sent to me soon. The agency said that payment is made only after the work is done.

In that case, he is right. Payment occurs at the end. I suggest you do not accept any extensions.

That's best for IR35 and tax purposes anyway, probably.

If you are not happy, just phone in and say you have swine 'flu and don't go back. Phone up your last permie place and beg to be allowed back.

Make sure you get paid in used fivers. In a brown envelope.
