Originally posted by psychocandy View PostAgreed. But a lot will try it on because then:-
A) There no delay with getting body on site and money rolling in.
B) Theres no work to do with amending the contract when contractor rejects it.
How many have experienced agencies who are slow to produce the actual contract but an opt form is sent within seconds?
Again, perfect situation with least hasssle for agent is you on site, having by default accepted the contract and opted out. Perfect day for an agent that is. If they can swing a "client has cut the budget by £50" a day before as well they'll laughing their nuts off.
Perfect situation all round is best candidate gets offered the gig and they issue an IR35 friendly contract.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

I would still say that certain agencies e.g. Hays deliberately delay the contract though to avoid this discussion.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

I am of the opinion you make your own luck with a vast majority of agents. You sound like a dumb ass you'll get taken to the cleaners. Deal with them properly, know the tricks and play the game you'll have a much better ride. The newbie tax is a perfect example. How many newbies get screwed over by agents because they have no idea what they are doing? Most of them. You got played. You get better at it and the issues get less. Someone who seems to have endless problems with clients and agents should be thinking a little closer to home instead of blaming the clients and agents.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

I think the OP has withdrawn from the contract, the forum, and life now!
Perhaps he got scared off.
Or maybe the agency was so horrified they sent the boys round and he is currently trussed up in his new clients mail room with 'do not open till Monday' plastered across his bonce.
Perhaps we will never know!So now I am worried, am I being deceived, just how much sugar is really in a spoon full!Comment

Think the OP bailed too soon. Don't work without a contract, but still leave it bubbling away whilst looking for something else. It'll either come good or another contract will turn up.Comment
