The first month is where you make or break your reputation. It's probably the worst possible start to engagement whatever the reason you are off.Comment

Originally posted by billybiro View PostTotally agree that the first month is make or break and, personally, I'd only ever go off sick in that 1st month if I was really ill, however, if this does befall you then in your own defence against your first point, whilst you are a super expensive supplier, you're not billing the client for that time you're off. I know it still doesn't look good, but not charging the client for your illness, unlike a permie, is at least something.
If I was really badly ill in the first few weeks, I'd apologise to client etc and try to get back asap. If they were still a dick about it then its unlikely that this gig is going to last a long time.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
