Role Includes Paying For Work Related Flights

Correct - I was just sharing the experience with my fellow forumers, as had not come across this situation before.

That's how psychocandy started out - it's a slippery slope...

What rate was on offer?

Rate was standard market rate from which flights would then be paid for out of.

Nah he just loves to whinge and cause a stir so he can ge this post count up

Quite, but I wouldn't want to be in that situation in the first place.

True.

Rate was standard market rate from which flights would then be paid for out of.

There's no such thing as "market rate" really though, is there? Especially for overseas work.

Had call from agent today - they are advertising a role which requires few days travel to European sites each month. Clientco though will not pay for these flights/accom. Agent explained that they are expecting the contractor to pay out of the contractor daily rate and they will also not budge on rate to accommodate.

I have not come across this before, expressed how ludicrous this sounds and politely declined to take the conversation any further.

The client are paying full expenses. The agency are just going to pocket the cash and pay you a flat rate.

Cynical? Nah.

It also depends where in Europe. Not all European cities are properly served by budget airlines in terms of frequency. As others have said it all depends on the daily rate and how often you would be expected to be travel

How would they get the receipts?

[NotAllThere]

What receipts? They just invoice. That's what I do if I need to have the client reimburse my company for plane tickets.
