must be really easy to invoke your substitution clause in these places

My experience is if you have everything in order, it is around 4 weeks for most places.
If you have gaps etc. or if they have to follow up, with regards to missing documentation, it takes longer.



Perfectly doable, depends on your relationship with the client, also, it can help further if you have a true specialist skill set.

4 weeks is only the average if you have passed it all before it also depends on who they use for the checks there are a only a few companies who do this so at various times they get silly busy & it takes way longer than it should!


Took me 5 weeks then my friend went back to the same bank took him 6 weeks even though he had been onsite for 9 months there is no logic to it all!!

Fair enough, guess I have been lucky thus far .

Perhaps lucky but I also think they sometimes cough cough nudge nudge wink wink do not bother to do all the checks every single time................

Easier just to not have any gaps in the CV. Even if you aren't working for a client, you are working for YourCo

This does not work when you have to produce your contracts though they can see any gaps by the start/end date that's where the fun begins they want to know even 1 month gaps & absolute proof as well!

I am sure I am being dense but why do they care? Also I am not looking for work between jobs often. I am traveling or sitting in the garden or you know... having a life...

I don't document these events, can I never work for a bank (shame!)

Just talk tulip a bit - had a break for a couple of weeks to sort out things that I couldn't while I was at work then started looking for work.
It could simply be the case that they don't want people who might suddenly not renew and f.o. to "find themselves" or something.
