If there's nothing in your contract, I'd contact the agent, say client is asking you to work weekends and what's the deal?

The fact it's a long day probably comes under PWD but the fact it's working outside normal (I assume) hours means you definitely should clear it with someone who has the authority over that kind of decision because they presumably budgeted on you being in 5 days a week.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Get it authorised up front, otherwise come time sheet day, they will find they can't actually figure out how to pay you and offer you a Wednesday time off in lou

Are you saying that whoever signs your timesheet is coming over and saying "Oi! You left at 4 on Thursday.".
I think I would
a. tell them to shove the weekend.
and
b. look for something outside of Nazi Germany.
So, theoretically,
Day 1 - 8 hours (get paid PWD since no extra for extra half hour).
Day 2 - 7 hours (agency might knock 1/2 hour off since I did 30 mins less than 7.5).
see what I mean? Easier to just put 7.5 for every day regardless and client is happy with this at the moment.Comment

Just would rather not work 12 hours for PWD which would be 2/3 rate in effect.Comment
