That has to be considered as war chest protection, or as a second contract as it is fully remote. And give the client £250 of value per day, no more. Pre Covid you would have had to have been in the office for 8 hours for £250 a day, so it was no way. Now you can 'work to rate' as it is from home.Comment

Do you think it's OK to commit fraud just because of the low day rate?Comment

Or is this UK based only? then it's a bit of a joke, but still in the current climate someone might bite as it's significantly more than £0pd benched.Comment

Got to ask whether the agent is on a fixed percentage or just playing a game of seeing how desperate some people are...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
