Thanks for all the replies, something tells me I won't be the first or last to walk.

Originally posted by Unix View PostStarted a new role where the rate was higher than my previous one. I assumed the same hours per day but the new one in an extra hour which dilutes my rate to less per hour than previous. I didn't find out about the hours per day until I arrived. There are also other issues I am unhappy with which could constitute breach (role uses different tech to what I use and what is stated on my contract). Is it better to cut and run now without invoicing or hang around for a few weeks to work notice?
Sounds to me like you're using the excuse of a single hour per day to look for other issues you claim 'could constitute' a breach.
You need to get back to permiedom and quick.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Everywhere I've worked (permie or contract), the hours have always been 37.5/week, but I do always check what my contract says.
Current contract only stated PWD, I did not ask in the interview what the hours were (never have!) and the agent wouldn't say anything other than "you'll need to confirm with client co contact when you are on site".
Just bit the bullet and went in, worked out fine for me though.
I'd have thought 37.5 was "normal" though. What are others experience?Comment
