Notice Periods

[northernladuk]

BTW, all that crap for what sort of day rates?

I believe their rates have been up and down like the Mrs's knickers. They were okish while I was there then took a serious nose dive with a 10% cut and then a cull of all contractors. The rates offered when the doors opened again were absolutely abysmal. I seem to remember turning down a £250 a day rate for Service Management shortly after the cull but I have heard the rates were back up around market level.. but then they cut it by 10% etc etc..

Not sure what they are like now though.

The only thing one "Gains" on that lane is a slashed tyre.

Or smashed passenger window (once) and a keyed side panel (twice)

I see. I was assuming a day rate of £800 - £1000 with all those clauses and conditions.

Won't touch them with a well rusted barge pole.

That's what everyone says but I've not met many contractors in the north west that haven't done a stint there. It's like the place you have to cut your teeth in before you can be cut out I think

Granted I'm not from the north west but I probably held the record for longest serving contractor at Caudwell (18 months)...

Strangely I've never had any desire to go near Barclay's in either London or elsewhere. They reputation always proceeded them (and note where I've happily worked in the past)...

Looks like I'm getting a notice period built in - only 2 weeks but it's better than nothing.

Which way?

[BoredBloke]

Notice is 2 weeks both ways. I'm happy enough with that.

I always consider notice to be a MOOt point.

That's cause they are for permies.
