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. Is this normal? Can I ask for cash as my friend owns a shop and he reckons cash in hand is always better?

Are you seriously saying your contract states you don't get paid for 6 months ???????????????Originally posted by HornyHorse View PostMy contract has recently started but I've not been paid any money yet.

The close proximity of the letters 'G' and 'T' are the reason I'll never again send an important email and end it with "Regards" .... -

Ask for cash if you want : I suspect the agent might want something more traceable.Comment

Read the contract.
The arrangements for payment will be in there.

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. I'm sure I can trust him as he called me to request all my details before he placed me here.Comment

Nice idea, but it wont stop the sockpuppets posting more of these - "I've just signed a new contract but I'm not sure when it starts, or ends or even where it is or what I'm supposed to be doing yet.......and I'm not sure when or if i'm ever going to get paid and if I do will it be in cash, dog biscuits or moondust?....please help, I'm desperate to start this role so that 24 hours later I can start the obligatory "how the f*** do I get out of this contract that I didn't appear to read" thread?"............Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostPerhaps if everyone changed their Avatar to a FAQ answer...Comment
