Halfway through a 6 month contract. The initial contract has now been amended about a dozen times as they attempt to get 3 things correct - daily rate, hours per day, overtime rate. Each amendment usually results in delay in payment. How hard is it FFS?

Any delay in payment is fundamental breach of contract = walk awayOriginally posted by ClipheadHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think -

Being paid for the work I do is fundamental to me doing the work. If they don't pay me then I would see that as being a fundamental breach of contract.
But if you are not prepared to use that approach then it is easy to see why the agency is messing you about. From their point of view, I guess the interest is better in their account rather than yours.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Yesterday I threatened to walk off the site if it wasn't sorted out and was backed up by my line manager and HR (for a change). That seemed to work as I can now use a manual system to process timesheets. My argument was that 3 months into a contract is ample time for the agency to sort its mess and any delay in payment is unacceptable. The problem all stems from the fact the agent 'self-approved' the contract amendments without consulting me or HR.Comment
