Client wants me on site at all times. .....can I refuse?

But why? It was made perfectly clear before hand. I just don't get it.

I'd see it as an opportunity. I know I can't work it and started on that foot and when I get there I see an opportunity to deliver hard, gain some respect and possibly get some WFH for myself. Bargain.....

Yes, it was made clear. The annoying part comes with the assumption that it means no-one can.

And of course the OP was wrong to assume, as would I have been.

I can see why it has annoyed the OP, even though it is his mistake (the assumption).

Wot? No unrelated story about something that has happened to you or a mate?

I've got a mate who went out with this girl right. Anyway, it turns out....

Can you claim JSA from home? No, you even have to go into the office.

You can start the initial claim on the phone but alas no you do have to go in to sign on.

NLUK - do you get a lot of clients asking you to WFH? Just wondering.
Perhaps they'd rather not have such a miserable git in the office.

Your contracting tales are more believable than that!

Nope. I don't do working from home generally. I'd rather be in the office and I can get more done being around the delivery teams and my customer.

No update from the OP. Maybe we will hear from him on Friday when he's the only contractor in the office
